    The biggest difference for me was the upgrade to the $8K Yamaha upright. Beyond that the sound quality upgrade was smaller while the price went up exponentially.

      Agreed. The $8,000 Yamaha was where it got good. I can tell differences all the way up to the quarter million piano as a layman, but going beyond the $17k GB1 doesn't seem to offer enough of a difference to warrant the massive price jumps. 🤷🏻‍♂️ $8k is an affordable premium unit for a serious player, it seems. The audience will likely be normal people and it will sound beautiful to us without a doubt while not breaking the bank and not causing someone to cry if it gets lost in a tornado. 😺

      Almost all of that difference was simply that as a new piano, it was properly tuned. The pianos before that could be fixed up to sound essentially the same with a tuning and in the case of the first piano, fixing that broken key.

      This is true with more products than pianos.
      80% of the quality is between the cheapest brand and mid line.
      You can observe this yourself in everyday things like toilet paper. Not only do you get more, it’s higher quality. Buying the ultra cheapo stuff just means you use more and buy it more often.

    Before I bought my house in 2014 I did a walk through. The previous owner had a piano in his living room. I had mentioned to him that I’ve played piano since I was 12. He immediately asked me to sit behind this gorgeous piano and play something for him. So I played Aladdin’s “A Whole New World” and I thought I did fairly well considering I don’t play every day. He was so polite lol... He then talked a little about the piano and that it was a Louis XVI style Gbaby grand piano. He then sat and played what he told me was an original piece. I was floored, this man played that piano as if he was playing for the POTUS lol... when he was done he pulled out a document and turned to the third page that showed he had paid $132,000 for this piano and that it was insured for $160,000. I looked around and asked: “But how did you get it into this house and how do you plan to get it out?” He explained that in just a few hours a private company would be here to start dismantling it. That it all would be carefully packed and shipped down to Florida where he had already bought a new house. He looked like he was about to cry and I asked him if he was ok. He said that he had never been so nervous in his life and that he feared something would happen to his piano. It made it down there safely. I felt so honored to play it.

      The higher priced ones don‘t have much difference except for their age and intended use i guess and how they sound in the end is also heavily dependent on where the piano stands, so this isn‘t exactly a good video for comparison.

    • @Hostyl176
      @Hostyl176 3 роки тому +59

      That's about what I thought. The differences in the following ones that I *thought* I heard could just be chalked up to different room acoustics. Like the last Yamaha grand was in a room with considerably less echo than the Playel grand so did the Yamaha sound "warmer" because of the piano or the room? I cant tell.

    • @Keldor314
      @Keldor314 3 роки тому +116

      One difference you *don't* hear is from the perspective of the pianist, the more expensive pianos have better touch characteristics. Upright pianos offer less control for playing softly and have trouble with rapidly repeating notes, and old pianos that haven't had significant servicing for a few decades, as well as cheap low quality pianos, can have problems such as one key sounding louder than the others or not striking the string at all if you try to play too softly.
      For the expensive pianos, a big difference is the quality of the bass notes. To make a deep note, you need a very long string. However, you can work around this by using a thick string. However, a long string will sound significantly better. But this only affects the bottom octave and a half or so of the piano since only the bottom notes have any need for strings long enough to not fit inside smaller pianos. The big reason this isn't noticable in the video is simply that he's not actually playing any of the really low notes in that piece. Also, even if he was, you wouldn't be able to hear it unless you're using decent headphones or speakers with halfway decent bass response. Laptop and phone speakers are out.

  • @chelseal654

    Wish we could have heard all the pianos in the same room, the acoustics really do make a difference. That being said, the 9k Yamaha grand had probably the best tone for price. Of course the 289k had (imo) the best tone, but I think the room sound may have had an influence. It also seemed to have the most fluid action, just from what I could see. I loved the tone of my teacher’s Yamaha over the Steinway in the performing arts building at my school, but the Steinway had an action just like a hot knife through butter.

    There's most definitely a difference, but another Factor that seems to be overlooked by most is the positioning of the piano, and the size of the room. I'll assume that the recording device is the same for each piano, but the other variables will greatly affect the sound quality.

    I was in classical guitar study for 15 years from when I was 9. Started on a 50 dollar guitar. When I was 17 my father purchased me a really lovely classical guitar and the difference was huge but the thing is you can still make good music on something like that it depends on how hard you play it and why. We couldn't afford much but my father saved and got me a very nice now unfortunately passed away Luther ryoji matsuoka. Beautiful Japanese made classical and it will be my treasured gift for the rest of my life. Such a treat to play and I appreciate the ease after years and even on nylon strings having bleeding fingers. Did my high school exams to get into university with this and man I got there. But I could have done it on the cheap guitar too. Its all about how you play. The sound is better obviously but your skill as a musician doesn't change depending on the value of your instrument.

    When producing music in studio recordings I often choose the cheap, upright piano with the honky Tonk sound because in the mix with the other instruments it sticks out a lot better because it has that brighter, and transient heavy attack which can sound a lot better in the mix than the baby grand or concert hall piano because those tend to sound too dark and soft. I think when the only instrument is the piano I may prefer the concert hall piano because it has a more dynamic and full sound, but in the mix the cheap pianos often sound better in my opinion.

There are plenty of grands, baby grands, and uprights that I have played and they've all had a different sound.

Berlin for me sounded the best so i would find price after a certain point to be less indicative of subjective audio quality, and more about the quality of the craftsmanship, though even that seems to have diminishing returns given that the Berlin piano sounded like a dream despite being heavily used and over a century old.

    That $600 piano was a great surprise. It had a rounder sound, but maintained a dulcid sharpness in the high notes. That sound was not equaled until the $50,000 grand piano. Granted, the acoustics of each room where they were played varied quite a bit.

    My humble observations as a non-musician and most noteworthy to me:
    1. The Barthol and Berlin was my favorite. A unique and rich sound that makes me think it’s mom had an affair with a lute.
    2. I really liked the Yamaha Upright at first but it sounded a little synthetic for some reason the more I listened.
    3. The Pleyel Grand Concerto was tied for my least favorite with the first one. It added a twang to each note that I found very unpleasant.
    4. The Yamaha C2 seemed to have the most soul of the expensive ones and was probably my second favorite after the Barthol.

      Yamaha base some of their electronic pianos on samples from this model upright. You’ve probably heard it on countless recordings because Clavinovas and the like are found in recording studios (and living rooms) all over the world. That might be why it sounds synthetic to you :) It’s actually one of the best classical piano synths in my opinion, especially for the price of their budget fully-weighted 88 key pianos.

    I actually really like the Berlin at number 2 . It has some amazing resonance and depth you do not get on modern uprights and is keeping its pitch really well for a piano of that age. Would be interesting to put some Steinway strings on it and head what it sounds like . I imagine the action may be a bit shallow and stiff . The tuning on a number of the pianos is not good enough for a fair comparison. Some Yamaha grands are god awful, others are phenomenal, and the quality does not depend on the cost.
    Unfortunately while some of the older pianos have tones that are majestic, mostly their backboard is gone and fixing the instrument will cost more than a cheap grand . The most amazing sounding upright I ever played was a broadwood I found for free on the side of the street . But yeah, I didn't have the 10k to spend on overhauling the piano.

      My best guess would be the materials used, and the condition of them, or the age.
      Like the felt of a hammer, can be naturally softer, lighter, more plush.
      Or the felt materials can be naturally firmer, denser, harder material.
      It can become more dense over time, especially the notes struck more often.
      Also the wood used for components can probably change the overall sounds you're listening to.

      Yamaha is definitely at the top. They’ve taken their instrumental proficiency to another level by applying it to their motors too. The Lexus LFA’s 1LR-GUE engine was codeveloped by Toyota & Yamaha. Yamaha worked on the engine’s acoustic factor & that car sounds like a literal masterpiece.

    Now, to be really fair to the older upright pianos here, it would have been a good idea to call in the piano tuner first. I remember our old upright piano gradually degraded and always sounded fantastic after the tuner had finished his work. Obviously the new pianos in shops were relatively freshly tuned, as were the last few concert pianos.

    There was a noticeable difference starting with the Yamaha upright in smoothness and tone. But afterwards you wouldn't be able to ask someone what kind of piano they are playing without them seeing it, because they sound very close. Only a very few could distinguish the difference. I would assume the main difference is in the feel of the keys and the construction of the piano.

      In the case of the C2 and, The CFX you might be able to tell the 2 a part if you play them. The CFX has a more sustained/powerful sound because of the longer strings and bigger soundboard🎹🎶

      Brand, year of the make, how quite the pedals move when depressing them and how silently and quickly they return to their position. Like any instrument the sound can be changed based on the construction and materials used, I’m sure you could make one that is more mellow like the Yamahas clearly are or one that’s more sharp (that’s preference not inherently quality) lots of factors to consider for sure

    Those Yamahas are a great value. The more expensive pianos (generally) sound better, but the Yamahas are where they started sounding good, and you could rearrange most of them after that point and it would mostly be a matter of taste rather than quality.
