I remember reading (quite a while ago) a discussion about piano in Pixies and FB songs.
I just noticed for the first time piano in the chorus of Monkey Gone to Heaven, not playing chords, just the notes C# and D over and over.
You have all probably seen it, but I thought I'd post it for sake of argument.

Sounds like a penis envy thing. ;)

Fender headstocks have those little screw thingys that effectively shorten the length of the post-nut string to a similar length of a gibson anyway. I’m sure not too many people will lose sleep over the centimetres of difference.

Yeah, I suppose it would make a different sound, but the strings are so taut that far up the guitar. Whether this is a factor to, I don't know. Nothing a bit of trial and error can't sort out.

All this nuts talk has given me the perfect excuse to post two of the coolest headstocks ever.

what I mean is the length of string behind the nut in each case is different, so does it not make a different sound??

I've started thinking that this sounds more like a duck now. It sounds like a "quack".

isn't that chim-chim before he met Kurt? He looks happy there tinkling on the old ivories.

look at him here...



...looks like he could seriously do with a dose of smarties.

Maybe it's the Doolittle monkey playing it!!

does it not depend what kind of guitar you have to be able to play it behind the nut?? for example, the length of string behind the nut of say a gibson neck is shorter than a fender one

Sounds like toy piano to me. But nothing is mentioned in the liner notes.

edit: sorry carl, i'm just about to repeat what you said.

Do you think it's a real piano or toy one, though? i also remember reading (quite a while ago, too) it can be recreated by playing the D and G strings behind the nut.
Carl Posted - 06/12/2006 : 10:25:30
I always thought that was the strings being plucked behind the neck or bridge on a violin. Don't violins have neck/bridge parts like that?!
