No, they're eyewash like the rest of the thing. The New Zealand kid 
actually built his piano. It looks like this guy stuck two existing 
pianos together and did some furniture work. As usual with this kind of 
thing, there's no real information such as whether the stringed thing at 
the back is actually functional in any way, or just there to add length. 
With sensors under the keys in front, and solenoids in the rear, it 
could be made to play in tandem. But no one bothered to find out and 
report it.

Oh, and it'll play in in a few years, and sound better.
