#3The timbre of piano strings is an interesting subject, but to my ear honestly the sound isn’t that much different in this example.

This part is just amazing to me. I can't remember what I was doing when I was 15, but it sure as heck was nothing as close to wanting to build a freaking piano.

This is what it means to follow your dreams! A wonderful mother, supported the desire of her son. I would like to listen to Elton John playing such an instrument and hear his opinion.

Same here. We were too smart to try such an impossible thing. He naïvely thought he could “just build a piano” and… well dammit he did!

I'm not an expert, but it might be that your speakers do not really respond to the low A (~27Hz). Check the speaker's response curve.

I built my tube amplifier (along with some effects pedals) for my electric guitar at 17.
Now that I have kids, I wonder how my folks let me work with 400V of electricity and not freak out. Makes me wonder what kind of weird things my kids are going to get into.
