A piano is very much like a taco. Well, a piano is very much like a taco in the fact that it is delicate, fragile and has the ability to make you very very happy until it breaks. You see pianos, much like tacos, simply do not mesh well with the word “broken” in a sentence. Unless, the “broken” in question refers to world records that is! Yes, much like tacos have a whole section of broken world records dedicated to them (true fact, look it up!), so do pianos. Hp compaq t5000.

Playing the piano so fast it looks like he’s not even playing the piano.

We imagine young Bence Peter would do really well at that game where you aimlessly click as many times as you can on a red button within a 10-second time frame. The lass was but a teenager when he broke the official Guinness World Record of hitting the most piano keys in one minute, laughing in scorn at the previous record of 669 hits. Today he is a 3 rd year Berklee student majoring in film scoring/EPD.

Romuald Koperski, 54, spent a whopping 4 days of his life from the 27-31 st of January in 2010 breaking the world record for the longest piano marathon by a single person in history. The event was officially opened by Danuta Walesa, the former Polish First Lady, who we imagine didn’t stay for the whole affair because, you know, four days and all.

We know there are questions that inevitably rise from this record such as “how did he erm relieve himself?” or “did he eat/sleep/etc?” Well, apparently, Koperski was allowed a very generous 5-minute break per hour played, which is enough time to do nothing basically. Koperski thinking when he signed on to this feat? Well, in the understatement of the century, “I didn’t think it would be this hard,” he said, three days into the challenge.
