Here’s a really unusual world record that you probably haven’t heard of–a quick-fingered concert pianist from Romania unofficially broke a Guinness World Record by hitting a piano key 500 times in 30 seconds.
Thurzó Zoltán, a renowned concert pianist, videoed his attempt at being in the Guinness World Record book in honor of his mother who died on the same date last year at age 77. Zoltan performed the feat in Biharia village last week which broke the current record of 495 piano key hits in 30 seconds. The current record was set by Japanese musician Keita Hattori last December.
This would not be the first time that Zoltan has made it into the Guinness World Records. He currently has the record for the highest altitude grand piano performance, 19,024 feet, and the longest marathon playing keyboard/piano by an individual, 130 hours.
