Worlds Largest Piano Built By A Kiwi Teenager (Video)
The world’s largest piano was unveiled last week in a farmers barn outside of Timaru by the world’s youngest piano maker.
Adrian Mann, definitely the world’s youngest piano maker and possibly New Zealand’s youngest inventor has completed the world’s largest and longest piano. He started the piano at 16 years old, 4 years later he has completed the 5.7 metre-long piano.
With no plans available for such a project, Mr Mann found himself having to design many of the piano’s components. He hand-made four sets of the 700mm long piano keys before he was satisfied.
When traditional piano-building materials weren’t available, he improvised. The spruce used for soundboards wasn’t available so Mr Mann cross-cut Canadian Douglas Fir bought from a salvage yard instead. An estimated 85 per cent of the piano is made from recycled materials.
For the past three months, he has worked 12 hours a day to complete the piano, named after the great-great grandfather who brought his family to New Zealand in the 1880s.
