No musician ever pronounced pianist like that though. It’s usually pee-AA-nist. Because the instrument is a pee-AA-no, not a pee-no. And even if you do accent the first syllable, it’s still PEE-uh-nist, not just PEE-nist. The 12-inch joke de-emphasizes the middle syllable for the sake of the pun, which is fair and fine, but in this case it doesn’t work – I suspect it’s because “beanist” isn’t a real thing, unlike the 12-inch pun. So it’s too much of a stretch.
