  • Mason and Hamelin is made in China?

  • @DKevinOh No, they're made in Haverhill, MA.

  • There's no way the higher end pianos have plastic keys; I can't imagine a piano such as a Steinway using anything but ivory keys, or do they not?

  • @xKurogashi Due to the rapid decline in the populations of the animals that produce it, the importation and sale of ivory in many countries is banned or severely restricted. I don't think ivory has been used for piano keys since the 1950s. 

  • whats the song called that the guy is playing at the begining?

  • @HUSoulja Schubert's Impromptu Op. 90, No. 3

  • @monkeydude512 In all fairness, the man playing the Schubert Impromptu is not a professional pianist---he is one of the superb craftsmen at the M&H factory.

  • "Then, he thumps it.."

  • ahhh i think that the best piano munufacturer is bosendorfer..........not even steinway can match up to a bosendorfer

  • Coolioso

  • @xKurogashi There actually are some very hard, very dense plastics that make a fair approximation of ivory. I'm sure it's not the same plastic as your normal run of the mill tupperware bowl from Wal-mart.

  • Reminds me of asdfmovie 4.

    THE SCIENCE SHOW!

    "Piano!"

  • That peg guy has got to be paid ALOT more than the others...

  • @xKurogashi They are made of wood and then given a coating to make them stain-proof. If you look at Steinway's website, and go to technical specifications for their pianos, they give details on what the keys are made of.

  • Very cool
