I just looked it up the video. I couldn't decide which link to share but it's super easy to find so I suppose it doesn't really matter. The piano is badly out of tune. It doesn't seem like he's very proficient, but he's better than me, so no biggie.

I remember hearing once that the best application for a music major is actually becoming a piano tuner. Apparently there's a high demand for them and it's a specialized skill so you can make beaucoup bucks doing it.
Pianos are such a strange instrument. I don't even necessarily want to learn to play one, I just am fascinated by how it works. It's like a percussion instrument that's also a string instrument.
