Piano Student Applies Skills to the Harpejji

Kayli Meeks, age 12, plays her first complete piano piece on the harpejji. The piece is entitled "Phantom of the Keys" (by N. Faber). It is clear that the skills she has developed playing piano have translated well to the harpejji. The instrument used in this video is a harpejji D1 that was upgraded with K24 electronics. Effects used in this recording include the t.c. electronic NDY-1 compressor, MXR ten-band EQ and Boss Digital Reverb RV-5.

That's some good music you wrote, and you got a natural touch for that crazy thing.

@TaterGumfries Actually, Phantom of the Keys is an old standard in piano instruction, not an original composition by Kayli.

[KaikaKia]

it looks hard to play.

@KaikaKia After 13 years of trying to learn piano I've gotta say it looks loads easier...accidentals and key signatures are what kill me, but with this it's basically nothing.

Great!

[spifo]

yep we liked it.

I agree, in this video this instrument sounds interesting. I guess Bach would write some music for it if he could. By the way is there a chance to make Harpejii purely acoustic, without need for electric amplification?

I like it ;)

Take a look to my cover of europe by santana if you want :)

@harpejji Well, she still got a great touch! Probably got a nice fresh brain ain't hardwired for one instrument or another. She definitely ought to stick with playin it, cause she could be the best.
