Been learning to play the piano for nearly a year now. Both sounded beautiful to me, though for me the grand piano had more fullness and richness in it’s sound. In terms of the reality of my life though, a grand piano is not a consideration based on space and cost. Therefore a nice upright would do in my home. Got to know life’s limitations!😊

You gain sound with Grand Piano, but you lost weight on first octaves without Upright. For example, play Man of Steel using Grand Piano (it's a distintic from movie), because the first Octave on Grand Piano is too loud comparison with origin.
You didn't explain the difference, so I will. A grand piano has horizontal strings and a horizontal action with hammers moving upwards. This orientation is superior because gravity helps to put the hammer back in position after striking a key, which means a grand piano can repeat notes quicker. As the name suggests, a grand piano is typically larger, giving them a fuller sound An upright piano has verticle strings and a verticle action. It is a compromise made for space efficiency, but personally, I usually like the character of an upright piano more. I think a grand piano sounds too slick if that makes sense, and maybe too classical. The comparison in this video isn't very fair, though, because the upright piano is closed. You can get much more out of an upright piano by taking the panels off. Also, the character varies wildly. Two upright pianos can also sound completely different from each other, and so can two grand pianos... the video is pointless. Also, besides the sustain pedal, the other pedals typically have different functions on grand piano's vs. upright piano's, but this also varies within the same category. All with all grand piano's are superior and more professional, but with their own character, which isn't the most suitable for all genres.
@@niinakukkonen7728 in my experience grand piano are generally more sporty, brighter, more intense, quicker, less meditative... I always feel like I'm in a rush playing a grand piano. I also think that this is the reason why classical music is so fast and why more relaxing neoclassical pieces are performed on upright pianos. Personally I play on an upright Schimmel because I prefer everything about it. It has a nice deep and very relaxing sound. I think which one is easier just depends on what you're used to.
You should mention what piece you're playing?Of course, if the space (and budget) allows, nothing beats a grand piano. However, the upright will suit a small space or apartment setting just fine until you really need to use the double escapement that a grand provides

NINE FOOT GRAND SUPREMACY (this is just my opinion don't take it to heart) Okay but seriously I once played on a nine-foot grand in a chapel and OH MY GOSH it felt so powerful
String length, unless one gets a 5ft 7 or larger grand, the string length of one of the tallest uprights would provide almost the same string length, Uprights obviously take up less room, and really need to be against a wall and will utilize the room as a speaker. A big differerence not mentioned much is that the action in a ground is up and down so gravity naturally pulls the notes down and back into place after being played, Uprights the action is sideways so gravity cannot help. Bass notes on a grand seem to usually have more fullness and maturity.
Upright piano sounds more like a saloon piano.... but standing free or against a wall also makes a difference.... but hearing this.....and compare it to some digital piano's.... the DP's are getting closer and closer
The problem with upright pianos is that they were invented for less space. Sound from grand pianos coming out from above and below. In upright only from one side. Also grand pianos have longer strings btw
The "upright" piano that has a back that tall is the same string length of a 5' 2: BABY grand piano. The GRAND piano you play on this video looks like a 72" grand piano. 52" is as long/tall as an upright-grand gets. They are considered UPRIGHT BABY GRANDS
80% of the time, I'd say the grand piano sounds better. But they have different sounds. There are times where the upright would fit the desired sound better.
Hi, thank you very much for your comment. I do agree with you. Unfortunately it sounds very different in reality and phone microphone can not catch the real acoustic. We try to make good comparison videos with a professional mic and cameras to get the most realistic sound of the piano, but this video is not the best example of that.. Thank you again for your comment, hopefully you will find a great piano for your daughter and if you need any advices, you are always welcome to ask. All the best, Helen
It is hard to hear from the recording but the difference is actually massive, although doesn’t really matter if you get used to one though. I was lucky enough to play my friend’s Steinway and it is just majestic beyond my comprehension comparing to my upright, but like the first few days I felt bad with my upright when I was practicing but after a while it doesn’t matter. All that matters is the key actions+the skills you can develop from it!
I'm not sure it'll make much more of a difference if you yourself cant hear it, but you can hear the dynamics better with the grand piano. Things like the nuances of volume are heard better on the grand than the upright one. But to your average listener, the difference is barely heard.
I’m a classical pianist and I can pretty much play any composition let me break it down for you let’s say you are living in a flat or an apartment and you don’t have the space for a grand piano then I would recommend getting an upright. If you live in a house like me and have the room well, the Grand. I currently have a digital Yamaha 745 worth $4000. I am going to trade it in for a U1 and pay $3000. Then I will trade the U1 for a GB1K Baby Grand Piano, priced at $13,500 for teachers, $15,000 for everybody else. A 5" acoustic baby grand piano is a great alternative because a 6foot Yamaha C1 could set you back 20,000-25,000. Most people can afford about 13,000 for a piano but not 25,000, that is the price of a new car like a Toyota Camry. Musical instruments aren't cheap. You want to go though a licensed Yamaha dealer so they will honor a trade. Don't go to a mom and pop who is not licensed because once you get your piano. you are stuck with it. That is why my go to store is Las Vegas Pianos.
@@niinakukkonen7728 That is not bad but I want to switch to Acoustic. I will first get the U1 for $7,000 than the GB1K. If I ever want to go back to Digital, I would get the Yamaha Clavinova 795 GP they are about $10,000. The B1 is a solid piano but I like the Yamaha 745 Clavinova.
@@thebig12conference73 It IS a acoustic piano, all the way, it have the same stuff inside as U-series, same quality of soundboard, only difference is , it is smaller. But quality is pure Yamaha.
The grand has a more fuller sound. Tone quality is better than the upright. Also it depends on the size of the piano/soundboard. A huge upright will sound better than a baby grand
Le seul principe d'inertie fait que le piano à queue est meilleur que le piano droit sur son aspect mécanique. Quand on veut aller plus loin dans son apprentissage du piano cela devient nécessaire surtout si on est ensuite amené à jouer dans des salles de concert, etc...
On my cell phone the upright sounds better. I'm curious how it would be with better speakers, and also if the recording set up was using decent microphones and stereo phonic sound placement.

I'm pretty sure this is an instrumental cover of a pop/rock song of some sort, it does sound strangely familiar. Not a song I hear very often though, I don't think. Edit: It has a bit of a resemblance to "Heart in Danger" from Southern Sons, which is probably why it sounds vaguely familiar. Not that it is, though.
@@SherwoodPhoenix do you have sheet music for it? Or did you learn it to play by ear? I have been to her insta page, but can't find any sheets for this beautiful piece of music :(
Grand pianos if you have the budget and space. An upright is still good as an alternative. Of course, sound is fuller on a grand and most of the time, keyboard action plays better on grand pianos dude to the design limitation of uprights. Still, an upright is hands down still better than some of the best digital pianos.
For me the notes sound less distinguishable on the grand piano bc they're...blurred? I was able to hear individual notes on the upright more clearly, maybe because the sound is more contained. Is the grand piano meant to sound very echo-y?
It depends. There are uprights that are sounding way better then some cheap grand pianos.

Open the lid on the upright or close the grand lid for a more fair comparison.
Upright sounds worse with the lid open. Very blocky
Also, she's playing two different brands which makes it an unfair comparison
