The lowest note on the piano is played by this brilliant invention from Lydgate Junior School in Sheffield, realised by the children and our team from the University of Sheffield.
The original design is something our engineers would truly never have thought of - to shoot a rabbit out of a cannon at the piano in order to play the note!
In the final record-breaking performance on 19th August 2019, the Flying Rabbit was used to play the final note of the composition. You can see this in all its glory in the final moments of the film in the film of the full performance.
