The Piano Guys are an American musical group consisting of four men, Jon Schmidt, Steven Sharp Nelson, Paul Anderson, Al van der Beek; and all of them perform on a single [grand piano](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kawai-pianos). Joining in on Christmas festivities and to kick off the holiday season, we indulge ourselves in a beautifully decorated house complete with a Christmas tree adorned with presents, a mechanical train, gifts, stockings and most importantly, a piano. After everything is set up, the four men start playing the [Christmas carol](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uber-courier-carolers), "Angels We Have Heard on High". Using 32 fingers, 8 thumbs, drums made of paper and hands and horse hair; the result is a stunningly visual and hypnotic rendition of the Christmas classic.

The Piano Guys are truly a unique act and have once again, touched and warmed all of our hearts with their talent and [festive Christmas spirit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nba-jingle-hoops).
