Durch alle Töne tönet
Im bunten Erdentraum
Ein leiser Ton gezogen
Für den, der heimlich lauschet.

This is definitely the best of the exploding piano vids, which I enjoy. The drunk yahoos with trucks, sledgehammers and forklifts are merely annoying, particularly the Texans in the white Ford truck. But the pyrotechnical (in the true sense of the word
) videos involve skill and planning, and the results are artistic, in their own way.
I attended the Baker House piano drop at MIT on two occasions, and at my own school some sound recording technology majors got permission to drop a battered Everett studio upright from a loading dock into the parking lot to record the sound for a project. My best friend and I removed the dampers and hammers for them to insure guaranteed sustain
They dropped it three or four times before the frame separated from the main body of the piano. They continued to drop it and record the dull thud until there was nothing left to drop.

The motto of this must be "If you have a terrible piano, don't throw good money after bad on it."
