This video is showcasing the Kawai MP9000 Stage Piano. Here I will show you how to get Chris Martin’s piano sound on this keyboard. I will also show you another method if you don’t own/can’t get this keyboard. If you just want to hear some samples of the piano, jump to 5:08. If you are interested in a little back story on this piano, continue reading below.
So I actually managed to track this thing down on eBay back in February 2017. It was quite a process, as the gentleman I bought it from ran into some issues trying to get it to me. This keyboard is bulky and therefore is not on the light side. The shipping would have been astronomical, so he offered to drive it out to me. So after a few days/weeks of delays, I finally got my hands on it. However it was a bittersweet time.
My grandmother was suffering from Alzheimer’s for a few years, but it finally started taking it’s tole in early February. This was right around the time I was looking into getting this piano. My grandmother was a Coldplay fan. It was something that she picked up because I listened to them so much and for so long. She loved listening to and watching them. “Look at that crowd” she would always say. It was a special bond we had, and one I am extremely grateful for. Unfortunately she passed away on February 27, 2017. I got this piano the next day.
I was so excited to finally have Chris’ sound at the tip of my fingers, but very upset at the same time. Because of this, I hardly touched the piano for a few months. I would play Clocks on it occasionally, but nothing major. It wasn’t until the past fall that I was able to finally dive in. I got that spark back and it felt amazing.
Another thing that set me back was repairs. One of the keys started to stick to another. I thought this would be something that ended up being unfixable, but fortunately for me it was. I brought it in to a shop and not only did they fix the key, they made a bunch of other adjustments to it as well. Basically the thing felt like a brand new keyboard.
So there have been a few things that have set me back a bit with making more videos, but I am happy to finally be doing it again. I have a bit of a track record or posting a few lessons, and then disappearing for a few months. Although I need some breaks, hopefully there won’t be anymore long gaps.
If you have made it this far, thank you for reading this. Thank you for the kind comments, the support, and most of all, for watching! I love being able to teach all of you the wonderful music of Coldplay. They are such an inspiration to me, as I know they are to all of you. Thank you!
