Wooden piano chord striker video?
August 3, 2010 12:21 PM   Subscribe

Help me find this video. A pianist performing a piece containing several chords which require large hands. As he does not have large hands, for each such occasion an assistant throws him a piece of wood with cleverly spaced dowelling attached, that he can press against the keys to play the right notes all at once.

It is quite funny and my powers of search have failed me. Please help.

I'm making a wild guess, but this sounds like the sort of routine the late Victor Borge would have used.
