Is this what is called a "beaten up" piano?

A couple of things triggering my BS meter...

How did they get vibrato?

How did they make such a small piano sound like a concert grand?

Highly inventive... but I thought touching strings with your hands would cause damage? This is just what I think I have remembered from these forums but I am not a tech. Would appreciate someone with more knowledge confirming.

It is an old Viennese action piano. Damage to the strings is the least of the problems with it.

I don't think just by rubbing the strings you can make it sound like violin/viola/cello without a similar bridge and sound box...

Interesting. Seen this before by several others.
Put a large upright on back: chances are would get same effect.

I thought it was interesting too. I notice credit was Coldplay though the song was ripped off from Joe Satriani.

Vibrato effect easy enough to achieve, Creative and entertaining.

Very interesting and creative I thought. Better to be doing stuff like that than out shooting up drugs or drinking.
