The piano is 5.7 metres long and is very heavy. And the keyboard actualy has keys that are a metre in length. [HBT] But despite this difference in size, the instrument can slill be played perfectly, thanks to Adrian's hard work. T7]_| In fact, the whole thing started when Adrian became interested in the materials. used for the wires inside the piano. These create the notes when they're hit. ‘And he found that ifthe wires were really long, he could get an amazing sound.
