This is indeed a fake video. There is a little german man inside the piano making the voices. He comes from a long lineage of small people who have been cleaning the subway (tube) here in Montreal. He is closely related to our Montreal Metro-gnomes.

And that's how we really hear. The truth must out! Best Kevin The University of Derby has a published policy regarding email and reserves the right to monitor email traffic.
