Piano destruction!

[themanonthehill]

In my search for my first piano I have been watching videos online and have come across a guy completely trashing his piano! Is this guy deranged or what?

. The violence starts about 5 minutes in. I don't know how someone can treat such a beautiful instrument so badly.

Easy - one you can accept that the world is full of wankers - then life gets that little bit more easier to bare.

This guy has a severe mental illness or is acting (very well). Either ways he has an excuse. If i had to guess i would say he is mentally ill.

I guess it's a sort of "performance-art" thing. This piano is actually out of service and not repairable, as far as I can see. Or perhaps this guy was so mad at his bad piano. He tried millions of times to repair it and it didn't work.

Another nut on the loose. He doesn't even know how to smash up a (clearly cheap, old and unloved) piano effectively, and he's lucky that slip-joint plier didn't bounce out and whack him somewhere painful. Incidentally, as with rather a lot of YouTube vids, I find the cameraperson even crazier than the person being filmed.

Some kind of quasi-amatuer-art thing.  This one looks more complicated than his other ones.  Different. 

I was hoping he would come back with a chainsaw. 

That's probably the most attention that piano has gotten.  Another use for old pianos besides practice tuning and catapulting -- as a prop for theater or destructive art.

Could have been better though.  I skipped through it.  He didn't completely finish it off.  Although I would think that might be a little dangerous to break some piano strings.

At first I thought his wife was in the other room typing and he was going to sit down and pull out piano keys with pliers.  *Bob gets the heeby-geebies at the thought of that.*

I don't really care why they're destroying the piano and how! I don't even wanna watch!!  Poor piano!

It was almost about to turn into a Hostel/Saw type of situation there.

I once saw a group smashing a piano for Guinness world records.
