Fur Elise on the AXiS 49

A performance of Fur Elise on my Jammer, an isomorphic keyboard with the "Wicki-Hayden Note Layout", converted from an AXiS 49 from C-Thru Music. It's a little less polished than I'd like, but I need to move on to new projects- so here it is!

I've rearranged my keytops to fit the W/H layout, and I'm using software freely available from Ken Rushton (aka MusicScienceGuy) whom you can email for more information.

unless the video has been mirrored, it's strange that you play high notes with your left hand and low notes with your right.

good work, though

@MiregalForges You're right, the video is mirrored and I forgot to undo it : P

It's neat though because a left handed person *COULD* play it the way it looks like I played it in this video, and use his dominant hand for melody.

lol i though at first you were realy doing it, then i figured uot u realy wernt, but good job anways, im liking this cause its kinda funny :D

[JLMoriart]

@olddog5655 Just for the record, this actually IS me, playing live. And what I'm playing IS a real instrument, called a "jammer keyboard".

Thanks for watching anyway! : )

Hooray! I added another like. To get rid of all that red crap. :D

[JLMoriart]

@oboegirl719 You are too kind :]

Why were there 226 dislikes and only 18 likes on this clip? I don't see anything to dislike about this clip. There must some idiot out there with a lot of time in his hands to dislike this clip 226 times.

Great vid. Don't understand the dislikes.

[MsDentalArt]

pretty cool, wish i could keep track of both hands moving like that, bravo :)

Its funny how people thinks this is fake and its not. Good work man! Would take me a long time to learn to play it on this. Im going to stay with my conventional piano XD

Furry Lise? Is this some girl you know? As a guitarist, piano baffles me, it all looks the same all the way up, Piano Accordian is even more confusing, a keyboard on one side and a hundred lookalike buttons on the other, and here you are making the sound of a piano with something that looks like the button side of an accordian. Sounds great, but now I'm dizzy and have to lie down, lol...

The like-bar looks like Darth Vader's lightsaber. Let's turn it into Yoda's lightsaber. May the force be with you O_o

[naknak4]
