Amatuer piano Tuning Tutorial on Youtube

[Geoff Sykes]

Thank you for this. "Amateur Piano Tuner" is truly a brilliant piece of
avant garde satirical film making in the style of a 1960's or 1970' art
film. The filmmaker states that this video is a response to another video
titled "Tu-ning". I thought that "Amateur Piano Tuning" was well made,
clever and funny enough all by itself, but after watching "Tu-nig" I also
found it inspired. 
 
Here is "Tu-ning" : A TRULY amateur tuner. Even after 30 years.

Still smiling. Thanks!

I found what is possibly the most bizarre piano related nightmare on
youtube.  I really can not describe this in words, it simply has to be seen
to be understood, (if understanding is actually possible).  It is called
Amateur Piano Tuning Tutorial.  It doesn't actually accomplishes anything
unless you happen to be heavily under the influence of opium.
 
The "tutorial" is given by what can only be described as one of the
strangest people who has ever lived.  It starts out in his bathroom mirror
where he introduces the topic.  He then mentions that in order to tune a
piano you need "something this shape or whatever" and retrieves a door stop
from the floor to use as a mute.  He proceeds to the piano with the camera
running making stops along the way to focus on irrelevant objects.  While
talking he regularly turns the camera toward himself so that we get a close
view of his missing tooth, eyes, whatever.  The video speed changes
periodically as it deteriorates into what could only be described as a drug
trip.
 
For those who wish to be amazed you can see it at:
youtube.com/watch?v=XQSG6NsQj30
 
Note that I left www. off the above address.  I have recently tried to post
some other Youtube piano things on the list but apparently the list filters
are stopping it.  I'm guessing it doesn't like links added to messages.  Add
on the www. part and hopefully this will work.
