Top TikToks of the Month – August

Sep 04, 2025
5 min read

What We Were Up To This Month

August at ePianos was a lively mix – new instruments arriving, a special guest in the showroom, and plenty of short, snappy videos for anyone (like me) with a short attention span, or for those who just want to get straight to the point! Over there you’ll find everything from FAQs to behind-the-scenes clips, unboxings , plus quick tips and answers to your questions. Got ideas for what you’d like to see or a burning question you need answering? Let us know!


A Special Guest in the Showroom 🎹

Last month we had a real treat – Luke Edwards from Korg, one of their top demonstrators, joined us at ePianos to put the brand-new Korg Kronos 3 through its paces. Not only did he show off the incredible sounds and power packed into the Kronos 3, but he also improvised full movie-style soundtracks right on the spot. It honestly blew us away. We’ve included two of our favourite clips below, but there are a couple more genres waiting for you over on our TikTok page if you’d like the full experience.

@epianosuk 🎹 Synth wizardry meets 80s cop drama 💥 We had the privilege of being joined by @korg.uk ♬ original sound – ePianos.co.uk

@epianosuk

🚀 Sci-fi movie… powered entirely by a keyboard 👽🎹 With Korg’s Luke Edwards at the helm, we scored this futuristic scene live using nothing but the Korg KRONOS 3. Otherworldly textures, pulsing synths, cinematic tension – all created on the fly. No pre-recorded tracks. Just the raw power of KRONOS. 🪐 👉 This is just one of four genres – head to our YouTube (epianoscouk) to watch the full synth soundtrack challenge

Back in Time with the Decades Series ⏳

We’ve been having fun posting clips from our Decades registrations, and in August we shared throwbacks to the 70s, 80s and 00s. The response has been exactly what we hoped for – a mix of excitement, nostalgia, and plenty of encouragement for players to dive into music from their favourite era. Best of all, these registrations are now available to purchase individually, so you can grab just the decade you love the most. And don’t worry – the 50s, 60s and 90s demos will be making their way onto our TikTok soon, so keep an eye out for those too!

FAQ Time: Do Weighted Keys Actually Matter?

One of the most common questions we hear from beginners is whether weighted keys are actually important. Chelsea jumped on TikTok this month to share her take in a quick, chatty video – and she also offered some affordable suggestions, because we know most beginners don’t want to spend thousands on their first piano.

Got a burning question of your own? Drop it in the comments over on TikTok and we’ll add it to the list!

August’s Honourable Mention🎶

It just wouldn’t feel right to get through August without including the song August itself. So yes – I had to sneak in a little Taylor Swift tribute on the piano this month. We’ll also be posting demos on different keyboards and pianos, so if sound quality is something you look out for, our TikTok is a great way to hear straight-to-the-point sound demos. Head over there and let us know which piano or keyboard you’d like to hear next – in this video I’m playing on the Yamaha CLP-825.

@epianosuk Fitting way to see out August? Playing August on the classic CLP 825 💛🎶 #pianotok #foryoupagе #fyp #viral #august #ts12 #clp #yamaha ♬ original sound – ePianos.co.uk


Be the First to See Our Used Stock 🔔

Another reason to follow us on TikTok? You’ll get the quickest sneak peeks of the used instruments arriving at ePianos. We’ve been posting simple slideshow-style videos to show what’s just landed – fast, efficient, and the best way to be first in line if something catches your eye.


Until Next Month…

That’s a wrap for August! These are just a handful of the clips we’ve shared, and there’s plenty more waiting for you over on TikTok. If there’s something you’d love to see us post – more FAQs, more behind-the-scenes, more music – let us know. And of course, make sure to hit that follow button so you don’t miss what’s coming up .
