Building 15-Foot-Tall Pianos
2019 · 4 min · English
Piano maker David Klavins builds his instruments to his own specifications out of a workshop in Vac, Hungary, including a vertical concert grand so tall he climbs a ladder to reach the keys. He plays it for the camera, and the sound is the real payoff after minutes of watching him build toward it.
