As a professional pianist, I can tell you, I'd rather play the cheap piano that's perfectly in tune, than the expensive piano that is out of tune. Case closed! (One year- 199 replies later) Why do I have to explain this comment to some people? If there's a well-tuned cheap piano and an out-of tune expensive piano in the room, I'd prefer to play the cheap piano. This is just my opinion....you have yours...fine. Of course, I'd prefer to play a well-tuned expensive piano. (obviously the case is NOT closed!)
I have an old 600 piano with a great action (3 months of my work, $325 in parts) and which is perfectly in tune ($175 in new strings) which plays and sounds great! So, I guess I have an $1100 piano with $4000 worth of my free labor invested in it. hmmm.
there's something special about old pianos too and depends what you want, when I visited a restoration store to get my piano as a child i thought it was a magical place
I am so happy I found this channel. It seems to me any well-maintained piano sounds beautiful in its own way under the right hands. I loved all the renditions.
For those who are new to the classics, like me... Who want to know what kind of melodies this wonderful pianist is playing: 1.Claude Debussy - Claire de Lune 2. Chopin - Polonaise No. 6 In A Flat "Heroic" Op.53
Actually yes, when you have a great ear and can notice the warm notes vs the crisp ones. Expensive headsets improve mostly the thin high-end freq and increase the low-end freq, but the difference in the piano sounds cease on the mids.
First of all, you play beautifully. And you could hear the sound becoming less tinny, more rich as the progression went on. Also, it appeared more effortless, because you didn't have to bang the keys so hard to get notes out of the newer two. Thank you for the video! 🎹
The cheapest piano has a very "ragtime/played in an old western saloon" sound to it. The most expensive is more "traditional, concert pianist" sounding. All are beautiful in their own right.
Yes essentially you need have a piano that fits your needs, but the biggest thing is having it in tune for a beginner. But starting with a $1000 basic 88 keyed keyboard is fine to get the basics the first 5 years, have one that has mechanical feedback a bit like a piano, then moving into real pianos once you e invested enough in yourself to justify it.
@@clairedeluna There's something to be said for the way a mechanical piano plays, though. The mechanics and feel of a real piano are needed, of course! Being in tune is tough as it is a lot of work. I've played a couple of concert grands (as Victor Borge said "The Steinway Piano Company would like me to announce that this is a Baldwin." lol.) Mechanics and feel are also very important on any piano, regardless. I love playing a real piano because it responds and had a "feel" that my electronic piano can't replicate. I absolutely LOVE the sound of an acoustic piano (I would prefer it in tune also lol) played by someone with experience and love of the instrument. My friend has a concert grand, impeccably in tune and fun to play. Good instruments beget fantastic music!
The cheap piano has the proper sound for an old western saloon and the most expensive one has the proper sound for a classical music hall in Vienna, or Paris, or London, or NY City, etc. ! The midrange priced pianos make perfect addition for the living room of those folks who can and love to play the piano.
The Downside to this Video, is also that he used different eras and different types of Piano's. 1- Upright/Spinet/Console, 2- Petite/Baby Grand, 3 & 4- Medium/Parlor Grand, 5- Ballroom/Concert Grand. It is well known that a Concert Grand is the most expensive and has the fullest and most expressive sound. That being said to ask this question and get a legitimate answer multiple Pianos of the same type should be played, IE: Cheap Baby Grand to Expensive Baby Grand. As much as I may like to play the concert Piano, my sound preference in this video was #3 from 1953. Followed by #4.
@@chrish7336 The first piano is an pre-war antique upright grand that probably stands 58" tall. It is NOT a spinet and is taller than a console. And that means it also has a soundboard as long as a baby grand.
@@Growmap If you noticed I identified that as they all fall under vertical. See where I mentioned upright/spinet/console. In one of my other posts out here with someone claiming to be an expert.. I also claimed that a cheaper upright because of the size can rival and compare to sound of much more expensive medium grands. Especially the Bechstein upright 8 which even new is still $30,000 less than most medium grands. I find the comparisons used in this video to be skewed, as it is normal for most to associate piano type with price and sound quality. Would it have been the same with newer cheaper upright compared to older more expensive grands. I have played an old medium grand that didn't sound much better than that upright he used. It just wasn't a fair comparison for the video. Price versus sound.... It would have been more accurate to make it.... Age vs sound
Even through my little IPAD speakers, I was able to detect that with pricier pianos, the sound became mellower and notes resonated longer. I’m sure, as a player, you are probably able to notice differences in how keys respond and how lighter you are able to play. Amazing playing by the way. Nice Debussy Clair de Lune and the Chopin piece.
I wouldn't say that: one can easily make oneself sound like a 10$ pianist, but you can tell the difference between a cheap and a more expensive piano even by a single note (if it's in tune, that's to be said)
I bought a high quality new grand piano for my home and I soon realized that I would NEVER be able to play it the way that it should be played. So, I hired music students from the local university to play for me and that worked out great. I kept the piano tuned, the students made much needed money, and the master students would come by to do their demo reels on a fantastic grand piano that wasn't beat to pieces like the concert grands at the university. So, I got to meet some incredibly talented young people who generously gave me copies of the fantastic music they recorded while playing my grand piano. I am now retired, spend a good deal of time traveling doing humanitarian aid, I have no idea where the grand piano now lives, but I still have mp3s of the demos that the students recorded on it, and It brings a huge smile when I listen to them. In the end the grand was worth every penny that I spent on it.
The cheapest has an old timey ring and sound to it. The second cheapest seems like the best bang for the buck, as it sounds really full and balanced. After that, you do get a better sound, but it is subtle from what I hear in each step up. I'd like to hear more comparisons in between that $600 and $6,400 price range.
Indeed the Bluthner (the idiot misspelled the name of one of the greatest piano makers ever) from 1953 was quite a nice instrument. It needed some action regulation and possibly some other things (I heard clicks) but for the price I'd say it's one of the best pianos in the video.
@@PiotrBarcz yes he did misspell but therefore hes an idiot ?? U make me sick, ppl who think they cant make an error, they so above the rest of us. Grow up. Or die trying.
1915 is magical, I imagine the beautiful stories that have passed over these keys over the years, love, joy, sadness, wonderful and catastrophic days, but the music and the poem are always present.
I love the fact that you didn't talk, you just got right to the demonstration, and yes, the last two are exceptional, phenomenal examples of the finest instruments available.
This is a wonderful comparison, I agree... I was surprised at the last two, though. I was expecting to see either a pre-war Steinway or a Bosendorfer at the top, with a Fazioli or Bechstein up there too. That CTX is definitely impressive, though.
However buying a cheap piano if it's in bad condition might discourage you from playing. In this case it's beter to buy a good digital piano than a cheap acoustic piano🎹🎶
Exato, estou pensando em comprar um teclado Casiotone cts300 (moro em apartamento pequeno não tenho como ter um piano, nem aquele menor kk) ai provavelmente até eu aprender o intermediário ja estarei em uma casa mesmo, e conseguirei comprar um piano de causa mais avançado para festas de final de ano e encontros de final de semana com amigos em casa.
@@2011methos you'd probably be beter offwith a digital piano with weighted keys if possible. The Casio model you mentioned does not have weighted keys which makes it hard to change between it and an acoustic piano because acoustic piano keys are weighted🎹🎶
bwbucs99 Bose/beats headphones are actually about $300 more than they should be. I.e., $300 beats\bose headphones are about the same as $1 headphones you buy on JetBlue. It's actually all just a big scam, buy from sennheiser and other similar brands that are actually worth it.
I personally like the second one you played, it's not as rich or "soft" as the more expensive ones but it feels nice and cozy, like a homemade blanket. It's one I'd feel comfortable playing and not be putting to shame with my just about average skills. The first one also has a kinda iconic "cheap" and old sound, it's pretty fun.
Yes, I felt Beuthner is the most 'tuned' piano of all, has the most clear and focused sound. Sadly he didn't play higher notes of any piano. Sound of both Yamahas felt over reverberated, probably these was crafted for acoustically neutral spaces.
The second one I liked for the same reason. However, it's not my favorite because I love jazz and ragtime, so the first piano is what I liked best because of its sound. :)
I don't know what a Beuthner is, but a Bluthner is actually one of the finest European pianos. They don't usually go that cheap afaik, unless it needs some major work pretty soon. And yes, I too prefer the sound of the Bluthner out of all the pianos he played.
@@phenelz1ne true however that only gives the person the ability to do it being good at it is an entirely different matter it is not something to be learned practice and hard work can only get you so far
I'm sitting here in front of my computer listening with an old pair of headphones, and to me they all sound great. It proves the old adage that former great golf pro Lee Trevino once said regarding cheap versus expensive golf clubs - it's not the arrow, it's the Indian! This guy is such a great piano player that he can make a cheap piano sound much more expensive.
The second piano, the 1953, seemed to have the mellowest and sweetest sound of all of them. However, I'm not a pianist, nor a musician of any sort, and I only know what I like. Beautifully played piano music is something I enjoy very much, as is beautifully, expertly played harp music, and the hammer dulcimer.....yeah, I like Bluegrass, and the hammer dulcimer seems to lend itself well to that genre, along with a well-played fiddle.
There's definitely a difference between the cheaper ones and the more expensive ones. The cheaper pianos have a more "metallic/ bell" sound to them, they sound more condensed, and crescendo sounds like you're slamming the keys (when in reality, you're not), reminds me of a "Saloon". The more expensive pianos have more resonance, the notes sound smoother, plus they can handle dynamics a lot better.
@@ligmamale1995 I really liked the cheapest for Chopin. Did not like it for Debussy. Chopin needs a bit of guts and flamboyance for some of his stuff. That belly aching old thing gave it to him, but overwhelmed the Debussy and made it amateur hour. I can't put my finger on why I wasn't keen on the Yamaha, but it could also have been my phone. Nice to hear different pianos, though. I love the differences. Mine is weird, but I love it.
I think a lot of the difference is in the action of the keys. The way they feel when you play them. I've been playing a €5000 Hyundai piano for 20 years. The first time I played a €50,000 Steinway in the showroom I was impressed most by how light and accurate they keys are. I was able to play the fast passage in the middle of Mozart's Turkish March at full speed with just a light touch of my fingers and hardly any wrist movement at all, whereas with my Hyundai playing the same notes at that speed needs significant muscle involvement and usually results in slight soreness in my wrists and forearms by the 3rd or 4th recital. Apparently the keys on an expensive piano are individually balanced and adjusted by hand - and I imagine with 88 keys that process takes some time, and the salary of the craftsman is not cheap and gets reflected in the final price. In this video the audio difference was clear. The cheap pianos sound tinny and muddy. The expensive pianos sound full-bodied and the individual notes were clear. The sound is probably proportionate to the size of the strings/piano (the last piano appears to be at least twice the sound of the first one). And probably much of the clarity is due to the better hammer action that makes it easier to hit the notes precisely instead of mashing them.
i agree with this. you could hear how much more precise, confident, and even his runs were in clair de lune on the more expensive piano. i could audibly hear how it was easier for him to play by the feedback, lightness, and even pace of his runs of the nicer piano. really cool. on the less expensive saloon style piano, it encourages a looser style of fast and slow because the keys arnt as precise and uniform and they have different feedback times. the most expensive piano, every key has the identical feedback time. makes micro differences, but it makes a difference. very interesting stuff.
Not only that but it has four of them and to someone of my age and nationality that can mean only one thing: fork handle holders. For those of you in a state of pure bafflement I give you a hint - search for the Two Ronnies fork handles sketch...
Thank You! For playing one of my very favorite songs. Claire de Lune by Claude Debussy. Watching and listening to that being played over and over again on each of the pianos was a real joy me. You touched my heart and my soul. Thank You!
the more expensive they get, the smaller the increase in sound quality is. i would get with the cheapest yamaha, if i could afford it, but i can't so i stick with a sampler. lol.
They’re all beautiful in their own way. I think when you’re in the room and it’s playing, it’s so loud and exciting you don’t even notice any “cheapness”. I get all giddy when I watch someone play.
The difference was noticeable at the $15,000 piano and got perhaps slightly better as we progressed up the scale the last two had more depth in the low end and better tone all the way around...the player makes more difference than the instrument and I think the player will notice the quality much more than the listener...especially a listener that doesn't play...to the listener the difference is slight but evident especially when comparing bottom to top...apparently it takes more dollars to make slight improvements the higher up the scale we go...are the improvements worth it...if you are recording a one time performance perhaps...to entertain a bunch of stiff it would make a difference only if they knew the price...to the average listener the upright lacked low end but tone was good but I think middle of the road would do the best for the buck as long as I'm not buying...and you would have to record them in the same room with the same equipment to get an honest comparison...
You explained what I was thinking better than I could. I actually preferred the second Piano's sound but that's my taste. In terms of overall range -- the upper tier pianos were pristine but it might not be necessary.
Olha quem ta por aqui!!! Grande Fabio Lima! Nossa vocês poderiam fazer um especial de fim de ano juntos!!! That's gonna be amazing! Quem apoia a idéia da um Up pra que eles possam ver.
Huge difference to me. Like the difference between my upright, inherited from my mom, and 2 of my sibs’ baby grands. I love your playing! Reminds me when my much older brother was taking piano lessons from a concert pianist in DC. I remember as far back as 3 how much I loved sitting in the leather chair behind him listening to him play. My feet didn’t even reach the end of the seat. My favorite one he played was Chopin’s Polonaise. 🥰
I found the tone of the second piano more pleasant than the third piano. The first and third had too tight or hard abrupt ending notes, the second and remaining seemed to have softer warmer tones. That's how I heard it at least
I agree . . . was going to post my own comment but saw you beat me to it . . . 2nd Piano was overall best in my opinion . . . the newer pianos were a bit richer and deeper but not bright enough in my opinion . . . 2nd was the best overall tonality wise for both the lows and highs . . .
Это не рояли, а рояль и пианино. Рояль всегда будет звучать глубже и насыщеннее пианино, поскольку его конструкция предполагает игру в концертном зале, а пианино - это, если упрощённо, чисто репетиционный инструмент или инструмент акомпаниментный - в малообъёмных залах. И звучат они по-разному, в силу особенности их конструкции.
The biggest difference happened between the 1st and 2nd pianos. I have to think though that it was more than just the price making that difference. Going from an upright piano to a baby grand would, in my opinion, make a big difference. Also increasing the size of the grand pianos would also make a difference. All that being said, when I was young my family had a Wurlitzer console that I thought sounded fantastic, not old-timey at all.
The three first pianos were out of tune, especially the first one. The three last had soooo much more sustain than the two first… and the two last were really precise… Tune the first pianos, and replay the test. I am pretty sure the feeling will be different.
minha mãe é formada em teclas e em música, ela é pianista e professora de piano. já que ela me ensina piano desde a infância eu percebi bastante diferença na homogeneidade das notas, na suavidade e nos tons. no piano caro a musica fica bem fluida e gostosa de se ouvir, no barato fica bom, porem fica muito destacado as notas que apertamos.
@@munir2164 sim, sim, não duvido. tem gente que não entende de música mais tem um bom ouvido e percebe a diferença. disse isso pois quem entende sobre harmonização musical normalmente consegue perceber mais facilmente essa diferença.
Каждый инструмент может иметь свой неповторимый тембр и характер независимо от цены, нет дорогих и дешевых тембров, есть замысел автора, и настроение исполнителя и слушателя.
@Sergei Torockov Опечалю, дураки облегчиться не смогут, у них смысл жизни в том что бы очевидные вещи не замечать, а маэстры будут подбирать инструменты под конкретные задачи и радоваться тому что это не тайной знание, а очевидность
To me the more expensive pianos have a rich smooth tone where the other cheaper version is more edgy either way they are all beautiful pieces of work☺️
Jessica Du Toit you are correct. The higher end pianos have a much better tone in the mid to mid low range. So smooth. Selling my house to buy one. Lol
Though you're perfectly right, Jessica Du Toit, I'd never buy this Yamaha (equivalent to the house in Florida)! I'd prefer a 60.000 $ Steinway & Sons! xD Some of those pianos seem to be played with some difficulties (e.g. the 3rd in this video). I noticed this too when I was young: we had an old Petrov grand piano that was very hard to play. Some years later we changed to a new Steinway & Sons that was very easy to play and made a beautiful sound (unlike the old Petrov)!
That last piano was swonderful... It sounded rounder and more full. However, for the money, the first one for $600 is a great bargain for what you get. It is by far the best looking and has such a stately character. You got to love those candle holders for the "light".
Agree!!! the first piano sound was unexpected!!! wery full with good volume!!! first and the last played the best...for 600$ the first option is a free bargin. The last one is a king among all.

Difference in sound is one side, but the first piano is, at first, different from others - because it is else type of piano. Meanwhile pianos 2,3,4 and 5 are "wings" - and upper desk is open too. It changes sound, a not a little.
I love the distinct tone of the piano, I think one of the first times I heard Claire de Lune was on a piano like that, so it has a far more emotional resonance with me.
Não conheço nada de pianos mas o som do piano que tocou mais minha alma foi o piano mais antigo. Esta é a opinião de uma leiga no assunto sobre pianos. Escuto mais o que toca mais fundo na minha alma e me emociona.
I'm listening in my studio, with speakers, and I can feel clear differences. The "cheap" one sounds with more high freqs and more percussive. The Yamaha CTX sounds warmer, nicer and with more presence of low frequencies.
I can absolutely feel the difference. The later ones sound clearer and purer. Personally i prefer the rawness of the old ones though. It's a matter of taste i guess.
As a pianist, I'd pick playing on one those grands any day over the first piano. I believe it's an upright piano, but its sounds kinda make me think of a spinet or console piano.
Sure it is possible to hear difference, because each of this pianos sounds bit different. But question is not only about being able to distinguish each other, but would you also be able to sort it from cheapest to most expensive, if you could only hear sample of each in random order? And another story is overall quality of each instrument. Price, brand and model not only mean how instrument sound here and now, but also how often it need tuning, service, how stable it is over time, how durable it is etc.

@@anokixo4122 translate:There is a difference, of course, but if a professional plays the instrument, then in any case it sounds beautiful, regardless of the price of the instrument
Lord V! You rock! Thanks for doing these videos. Since I'm more a fan of ragtime, I prefer the bright B&B over the Yamahas, but appreciate their sounds too.
The same reason I am? It's in your suggestions at the bottom of the video after getting recommended his soviet Anthem on ak47 by youtube and you were just seeing how deep the rabbit hole goes?
@@mvmixy My parents have one that sounds just like that. It's a wooden frame, so it is always out of tune as the air humidity expands and contracts the frame. I imagine a lot of the ones in westerns were similar.
@Uqpaa Handy I think that with anything like that you rapidly hit the law of diminishing returns. A £1000 piano will sound very different to a £500 one. As you continue up the scale though, you end up at the point where you are paying a massive amount extra for only very slight differences.
I was very impressed by the smaller new Yamaha (the second last). The big one is quite simply the best, but also the most demanding in terms of having the "Right Stuff" to play it properly...

I once bought a baby grand for 50 bucks. How you ask? That’s right, no strings attached. Best sounding piano I ever played. My air guitar sat right next to it.
@@AlwaysOnForever It's a pun on the "no strings attached" saying. It normally means that there are no extra terms and obligations related to the deal, but in this case it can be taken literally and say that the piano has no strings to play with 😂
@@monkeykonggaming he bought a baby grand piano for 50$ with no strings attached meaning no catch but pianos have big wires and strings inside so I thought he meant they didn’t come with the piano 😅
Loved the "Wild West" sound of the first one, must have been those bullet holes! 🙂 Just wondering, as we go up the price, where naturally grand names and grand designs begin to add zeroes to the price tag at exponential rate... how close would, say, AvantGrand N3X be to a $300k real thing?
I'm a Nigerian prince. If you give me 5,000 USD for a lawyer, I can get back all of the gold my family stole from me. After the legal process is finished, I will share it with you. 😂
Yes, you can hear the difference, I don't know the apropriate word to decribe it, but saturation might be a good word for it maybe on the older pianos. The newer ones feel more mechanically pure in some way.
Really interesting, 1st piano (upright) vs 1st baby grand hugh difference, sounds nice and fairly balanced. Between the 2nd and 3rd less of a difference but still noticed. 3rd and 4th getting less perceptable still noticed a difference. Finally, between 4th and 5th, wow, really noticed a difference in the bass of the lower registers and the mids seem to be a little sweeter/warmer.... but for that price, crazy, I could live the 2nd and be totally satisfied with the 3rd. Thanks for doing this comparison....
Cheapest is awfull, but 2nd cheapest is decent and offered a substantial gap in quality, the biggest margin. The more you oay, the less you notice the gap, more subtle
This chap could play a piano that fell out of an airplane from 20,000 feet and it would still sound better than me playing a perfectly good $300,000 piano.
As the pianos became more expensive, I noticed a significant change in tone quality, especially when comparing the “clatter” of the keys and the hammers, with the most expensive giving the purest sound.
The biggest issue with this series however is that different piano manufacturers use different materials, construct pianos differently, aim for different tonal qualities, etc. I'm not denying that a lot of the differences are from price point (because price makes a massive difference and with instruments, you generally get what you pay for), but to really show the difference price has on a piano, you need to compare between models from the same manufacturer. There are other qualities too such as sensitivity/weight of the keys, how it sustains notes, how it pops back up after you press a note, etc. Those are things that you can only assess by playing on the instrument yourself.
@@shaun4bigblocksllc It isn't a BS claim. There was a significant difference in tone quality. That doesn't necessarily mean "good versus bad" but it was very obvious. Try listening to the last piano followed by the first. The first one is tinnier. It's also the kind of piano I have, so it sounds fine to me.
Once again, beautifully done. I love the fact that you compared each piano with a cost of a vehicle. Brilliant. Also, really funny. Thank you for educating me on the differences between the prices of the pianos. And of course the corresponding cars that would be worth as much as a piano 🤣

Yes, I could. Expensive headphones can make a good sound great but they can never make a bad sound anything other than bad.
Actually yes, when you have a great ear and can notice the warm notes vs the crisp ones. Expensive headsets improve mostly the thin high-end freq and increase the low-end freq, but the difference in the piano sounds cease on the mids.

First of all, you play beautifully. And you could hear the sound becoming less tinny, more rich as the progression went on. Also, it appeared more effortless, because you didn't have to bang the keys so hard to get notes out of the newer two. Thank you for the video! 🎹

Mechanics and feel are also very important on any piano, regardless. I love playing a real piano because it responds and had a "feel" that my electronic piano can't replicate. I absolutely LOVE the sound of an acoustic piano (I would prefer it in tune also lol) played by someone with experience and love of the instrument. My friend has a concert grand, impeccably in tune and fun to play. Good instruments beget fantastic music!
My thoughts exactly!
Like the piano you'd hear on Little House on the Prairie when they went into that saloon in Mankato lol
The sound is totally different. Cheap pianos sound like western saloon pianos. They have sort of a "bell - ish" sound.
Celina Fernández western saloon pianos were cool though.
Upright pianos don't have the warmth that Grand pianos do.
it's partly because they're not in tune... I'm surprised that there are actually pianos that cheap. Lowest I'd go is 8000....
You’re worse than a vegan, can’t help but be annoying.
@@PorkotylerClips Fully agree, but the sound was nicely adapted for saloon music. Cool indeed ...
The cheap piano has the proper sound for an old western saloon and the most expensive one has the proper sound for a classical music hall in Vienna, or Paris, or London, or NY City, etc. !
The midrange priced pianos make perfect addition for the living room of those folks who can and love to play the piano.
kind of like the cheap piano has a southern or boston draw and the real expensive piano speaks impeccable English with no accent.
Ommvha, it reminds me of the *_cougar in this video_* ruclips.net/video/U2rNnzVotS0/видео.html
The Downside to this Video, is also that he used different eras and different types of Piano's. 1- Upright/Spinet/Console, 2- Petite/Baby Grand, 3 & 4- Medium/Parlor Grand, 5- Ballroom/Concert Grand. It is well known that a Concert Grand is the most expensive and has the fullest and most expressive sound. That being said to ask this question and get a legitimate answer multiple Pianos of the same type should be played, IE: Cheap Baby Grand to Expensive Baby Grand.
As much as I may like to play the concert Piano, my sound preference in this video was #3 from 1953. Followed by #4.
@@chrish7336 The first piano is an pre-war antique upright grand that probably stands 58" tall. It is NOT a spinet and is taller than a console. And that means it also has a soundboard as long as a baby grand.
@@Growmap If you noticed I identified that as they all fall under vertical. See where I mentioned upright/spinet/console. In one of my other posts out here with someone claiming to be an expert.. I also claimed that a cheaper upright because of the size can rival and compare to sound of much more expensive medium grands. Especially the Bechstein upright 8 which even new is still $30,000 less than most medium grands.
I find the comparisons used in this video to be skewed, as it is normal for most to associate piano type with price and sound quality. Would it have been the same with newer cheaper upright compared to older more expensive grands.
I have played an old medium grand that didn't sound much better than that upright he used.
It just wasn't a fair comparison for the video. Price versus sound.... It would have been more accurate to make it.... Age vs sound
Even through my little IPAD speakers, I was able to detect that with pricier pianos, the sound became mellower and notes resonated longer. I’m sure, as a player, you are probably able to notice differences in how keys respond and how lighter you are able to play. Amazing playing by the way. Nice Debussy Clair de Lune and the Chopin piece.
I can see the difference. I feel like the most expensive one has a more clear sound but the cheapest one has like a cool, magical touch to it.
Yes I agree
Same
Hi do you know nswish
Agree
yeah same opinion here
I can make both of them sound like 10$ one.
🤣🤣🤣
Me too lol
Me too
Samee jsjsjsjssjsjsjs
I wouldn't say that: one can easily make oneself sound like a 10$ pianist, but you can tell the difference between a cheap and a more expensive piano even by a single note (if it's in tune, that's to be said)
I bought a high quality new grand piano for my home and I soon realized that I would NEVER be able to play it the way that it should be played. So, I hired music students from the local university to play for me and that worked out great. I kept the piano tuned, the students made much needed money, and the master students would come by to do their demo reels on a fantastic grand piano that wasn't beat to pieces like the concert grands at the university. So, I got to meet some incredibly talented young people who generously gave me copies of the fantastic music they recorded while playing my grand piano. I am now retired, spend a good deal of time traveling doing humanitarian aid, I have no idea where the grand piano now lives, but I still have mp3s of the demos that the students recorded on it, and It brings a huge smile when I listen to them. In the end the grand was worth every penny that I spent on it.
That is amazing, and genius at the same time.
nomebear that sounds amazing :)
That's such an awesome story
nomebear, that is fantastic, you are a gem. May the Lord bless you. :-)
Excellent story!
The cheapest has an old timey ring and sound to it. The second cheapest seems like the best bang for the buck, as it sounds really full and balanced. After that, you do get a better sound, but it is subtle from what I hear in each step up. I'd like to hear more comparisons in between that $600 and $6,400 price range.
Indeed the Bluthner (the idiot misspelled the name of one of the greatest piano makers ever) from 1953 was quite a nice instrument. It needed some action regulation and possibly some other things (I heard clicks) but for the price I'd say it's one of the best pianos in the video.

I love the fact that you didn't talk, you just got right to the demonstration, and yes, the last two are exceptional, phenomenal examples of the finest instruments available.
They are... however, I even find that hard sound on the Beetle Piano somewhat appealing :-D Has its very own sound.
This is a wonderful comparison, I agree... I was surprised at the last two, though. I was expecting to see either a pre-war Steinway or a Bosendorfer at the top, with a Fazioli or Bechstein up there too. That CTX is definitely impressive, though.
hard to find steinway and bosendorfer in brazil...just to give a clue about taxes, the corolla here costs more than the surburban in us
Thanks for the clarification, I had no idea the price difference was so huge.
no problem. :)
Diferença nítida! Mas tocando assim, até no mais barato, ficou lindo.
Espero que o vídeo motive pessoas a comprarem pianos baratos para estudar muito!
However buying a cheap piano if it's in bad condition might discourage you from playing. In this case it's beter to buy a good digital piano than a cheap acoustic piano🎹🎶

Sliderix i got Laugh so hard
I personally like the second one you played, it's not as rich or "soft" as the more expensive ones but it feels nice and cozy, like a homemade blanket. It's one I'd feel comfortable playing and not be putting to shame with my just about average skills. The first one also has a kinda iconic "cheap" and old sound, it's pretty fun.
Yes, I felt Beuthner is the most 'tuned' piano of all, has the most clear and focused sound. Sadly he didn't play higher notes of any piano. Sound of both Yamahas felt over reverberated, probably these was crafted for acoustically neutral spaces.
I too preferred the second. The fourth would be my second.
Sameeee
The second one I liked for the same reason. However, it's not my favorite because I love jazz and ragtime, so the first piano is what I liked best because of its sound. :)
I don't know what a Beuthner is, but a Bluthner is actually one of the finest European pianos. They don't usually go that cheap afaik, unless it needs some major work pretty soon. And yes, I too prefer the sound of the Bluthner out of all the pianos he played.
With his talent he can make a frying pan and a wooden spoon sound magical.
Ikr
Agreed
Talent isn't something very rare, everyone has the potential of becoming a great pianist. You just need to work hard

@@phenelz1ne true however that only gives the person the ability to do it being good at it is an entirely different matter it is not something to be learned practice and hard work can only get you so far
I'm sitting here in front of my computer listening with an old pair of headphones, and to me they all sound great. It proves the old adage that former great golf pro Lee Trevino once said regarding cheap versus expensive golf clubs - it's not the arrow, it's the Indian! This guy is such a great piano player that he can make a cheap piano sound much more expensive.
Facts!
Yes, I can hear the difference but the way he plays, he makes them all sound awesome!
Imagine the Yamaha in 50 years :O
Agreed. But if I was choosing, I liked the Beuthner and the $47k Yamaha.
Yes! his playing was ugly and the more expensive pianos didn't help at all.
That first one totally reminded me of an old west saloon piano...
I liked the first one the best and this comment makes me like it more. Good point!!

For the Gamers: Clair de Lune is also featured in The Evil Within that's where you might know it from already.
Fergus MacLeod it's also in The Godfather
The second piano, the 1953, seemed to have the mellowest and sweetest sound of all of them. However, I'm not a pianist, nor a musician of any sort, and I only know what I like. Beautifully played piano music is something I enjoy very much, as is beautifully, expertly played harp music, and the hammer dulcimer.....yeah, I like Bluegrass, and the hammer dulcimer seems to lend itself well to that genre, along with a well-played fiddle.
I feel the same :)
There's definitely a difference between the cheaper ones and the more expensive ones. The cheaper pianos have a more "metallic/ bell" sound to them, they sound more condensed, and crescendo sounds like you're slamming the keys (when in reality, you're not), reminds me of a "Saloon". The more expensive pianos have more resonance, the notes sound smoother, plus they can handle dynamics a lot better.
Bravo! The "saloon" sound is what I noticed also...
The saloon sound is cool in its own way.
I feel like the first 600 dollar ones would be best for ragtime music and the expensive ones sounded better for slower, Chopin and Debussy songs
@@ligmamale1995 I really liked the cheapest for Chopin. Did not like it for Debussy. Chopin needs a bit of guts and flamboyance for some of his stuff. That belly aching old thing gave it to him, but overwhelmed the Debussy and made it amateur hour.
I can't put my finger on why I wasn't keen on the Yamaha, but it could also have been my phone.
Nice to hear different pianos, though. I love the differences. Mine is weird, but I love it.
You're such a damn lier, there in literally no difference. Just because something is more expensive doesn't mean it sounds significantly better.
I think a lot of the difference is in the action of the keys. The way they feel when you play them. I've been playing a €5000 Hyundai piano for 20 years. The first time I played a €50,000 Steinway in the showroom I was impressed most by how light and accurate they keys are. I was able to play the fast passage in the middle of Mozart's Turkish March at full speed with just a light touch of my fingers and hardly any wrist movement at all, whereas with my Hyundai playing the same notes at that speed needs significant muscle involvement and usually results in slight soreness in my wrists and forearms by the 3rd or 4th recital.
Apparently the keys on an expensive piano are individually balanced and adjusted by hand - and I imagine with 88 keys that process takes some time, and the salary of the craftsman is not cheap and gets reflected in the final price.
In this video the audio difference was clear. The cheap pianos sound tinny and muddy. The expensive pianos sound full-bodied and the individual notes were clear. The sound is probably proportionate to the size of the strings/piano (the last piano appears to be at least twice the sound of the first one). And probably much of the clarity is due to the better hammer action that makes it easier to hit the notes precisely instead of mashing them.
i agree with this. you could hear how much more precise, confident, and even his runs were in clair de lune on the more expensive piano. i could audibly hear how it was easier for him to play by the feedback, lightness, and even pace of his runs of the nicer piano. really cool. on the less expensive saloon style piano, it encourages a looser style of fast and slow because the keys arnt as precise and uniform and they have different feedback times. the most expensive piano, every key has the identical feedback time. makes micro differences, but it makes a difference. very interesting stuff.
id agree. but for performances, its nice to have the best quality lightest keys available to help you.
Whatever the salary of the craftsman might be, I doubt (s)he has to balance and adjust the keys of a single piano for entire year.

The acoustics of the rooms in which the pianos are located is a big deciding factor on the sound you hear. Even through a microphone.
You got that right. I didn't even think about that. Thanks for pointing that out!
Thank You! For playing one of my very favorite songs. Claire de Lune by Claude Debussy. Watching and listening to that being played over and over again on each of the pianos was a real joy me. You touched my heart and my soul. Thank You!
The more expensive they get, the softer and warmer the sound gets. Fuller too. That's what I'm hearing anyway.
its cause u can feel the money burnt
But the more expensive one is a upright.
the more expensive they get, the smaller the increase in sound quality is. i would get with the cheapest yamaha, if i could afford it, but i can't so i stick with a sampler. lol.

They’re all beautiful in their own way. I think when you’re in the room and it’s playing, it’s so loud and exciting you don’t even notice any “cheapness”. I get all giddy when I watch someone play.
The difference was noticeable at the $15,000 piano and got perhaps slightly better as we progressed up the scale the last two had more depth in the low end and better tone all the way around...the player makes more difference than the instrument and I think the player will notice the quality much more than the listener...especially a listener that doesn't play...to the listener the difference is slight but evident especially when comparing bottom to top...apparently it takes more dollars to make slight improvements the higher up the scale we go...are the improvements worth it...if you are recording a one time performance perhaps...to entertain a bunch of stiff it would make a difference only if they knew the price...to the average listener the upright lacked low end but tone was good but I think middle of the road would do the best for the buck as long as I'm not buying...and you would have to record them in the same room with the same equipment to get an honest comparison...
You explained what I was thinking better than I could. I actually preferred the second Piano's sound but that's my taste. In terms of overall range -- the upper tier pianos were pristine but it might not be necessary.

I remember as far back as 3 how much I loved sitting in the leather chair behind him listening to him play. My feet didn’t even reach the end of the seat. My favorite one he played was Chopin’s Polonaise. 🥰
I found the tone of the second piano more pleasant than the third piano. The first and third had too tight or hard abrupt ending notes, the second and remaining seemed to have softer warmer tones.
That's how I heard it at least

Generally, more expensive pianos sound warm and full, while the cheap and well-used ones are a bit sharp.
chiopix2 certainly sounds that way. Well worded
The biggest difference happened between the 1st and 2nd pianos. I have to think though that it was more than just the price making that difference. Going from an upright piano to a baby grand would, in my opinion, make a big difference. Also increasing the size of the grand pianos would also make a difference. All that being said, when I was young my family had a Wurlitzer console that I thought sounded fantastic, not old-timey at all.
The three first pianos were out of tune, especially the first one. The three last had soooo much more sustain than the two first… and the two last were really precise…

To me the more expensive pianos have a rich smooth tone where the other cheaper version is more edgy either way they are all beautiful pieces of work☺️
Jessica Du Toit you are correct. The higher end pianos have a much better tone in the mid to mid low range. So smooth. Selling my house to buy one. Lol
Though you're perfectly right, Jessica Du Toit, I'd never buy this Yamaha (equivalent to the house in Florida)! I'd prefer a 60.000 $ Steinway & Sons! xD
Some of those pianos seem to be played with some difficulties (e.g. the 3rd in this video). I noticed this too when I was young: we had an old Petrov grand piano that was very hard to play. Some years later we changed to a new Steinway & Sons that was very easy to play and made a beautiful sound (unlike the old Petrov)!
Sounds like just extra reverb to me
That last piano was swonderful... It sounded rounder and more full. However, for the money, the first one for $600 is a great bargain for what you get. It is by far the best looking and has such a stately character. You got to love those candle holders for the "light".
abstractsbybrian I agree
you pay for what you get in pianos
Agree!!! the first piano sound was unexpected!!! wery full with good volume!!! first and the last played the best...for 600$ the first option is a free bargin. The last one is a king among all.
Difference in sound is one side, but the first piano is, at first, different from others - because it is else type of piano. Meanwhile pianos 2,3,4 and 5 are "wings" - and upper desk is open too. It changes sound, a not a little.
I love the distinct tone of the piano, I think one of the first times I heard Claire de Lune was on a piano like that, so it has a far more emotional resonance with me.

I can absolutely feel the difference. The later ones sound clearer and purer. Personally i prefer the rawness of the old ones though. It's a matter of taste i guess.
True
I like the old ones too...for Scott Joplin best ever '30's rag man!
And money
As a pianist, I'd pick playing on one those grands any day over the first piano. I believe it's an upright piano, but its sounds kinda make me think of a spinet or console piano.
Sure it is possible to hear difference, because each of this pianos sounds bit different.
But question is not only about being able to distinguish each other, but would you also be able to sort it from cheapest to most expensive, if you could only hear sample of each in random order?
And another story is overall quality of each instrument.
Price, brand and model not only mean how instrument sound here and now, but also how often it need tuning, service, how stable it is over time, how durable it is etc.

M T no, it is $15,000.00. He is brazilian, and we use the inverse for commas and dots, he must have misplaced them
@@cbbk1908etdl06 why are you guys swapping dots and comas?
Благодаря Алексею Султанову я стала любить классическую музыку и я поняла прекрасное звучание самого последнего инструмента. С уважением.
Cuz of the player, even the $600 piano sounds so charming!!!
It does sound charming. But not really good, compared to the others :P
You mean the dude throwing his fingers on the keys and butchering whatever it is he's trying to play? Yeah, real charming...

Check out other videos of him. This is a comedic video. He is an outstanding piano player.

@@anokixo4122 translate:There is a difference, of course, but if a professional plays the instrument, then in any case it sounds beautiful, regardless of the price of the instrument
Lord V! You rock! Thanks for doing these videos. Since I'm more a fan of ragtime, I prefer the bright B&B over the Yamahas, but appreciate their sounds too.
The first song he is playing is Clair De Lune by Debussy. The second is Polonaise in A-flat major by Chopin.
Thank u!
thanks

Thanks a lot

The same reason I am? It's in your suggestions at the bottom of the video after getting recommended his soviet Anthem on ak47 by youtube and you were just seeing how deep the rabbit hole goes?
This is a sign
@@brainman2867 dude so true!
More expensive pianos sound more rich and full. They create excellent melodies and have that saturated sound.
Yes, first one sounds like pianos they play in western movies
@@mvmixy perfect description... cheap saloon pianos
@@mvmixy My parents have one that sounds just like that.
It's a wooden frame, so it is always out of tune as the air humidity expands and contracts the frame.
I imagine a lot of the ones in westerns were similar.
Yes, they are wonderful!
@Uqpaa Handy I think that with anything like that you rapidly hit the law of diminishing returns. A £1000 piano will sound very different to a £500 one. As you continue up the scale though, you end up at the point where you are paying a massive amount extra for only very slight differences.
I was very impressed by the smaller new Yamaha (the second last). The big one is quite simply the best, but also the most demanding in terms of having the "Right Stuff" to play it properly...

its because he is from brazil and he is not that good with english

I once bought a baby grand for 50 bucks. How you ask? That’s right, no strings attached. Best sounding piano I ever played. My air guitar sat right next to it.
I thought you meant no piano strings attached and was so confused 😭
@@karrissmyth8236 I’m still confused
Wait someone with high music intelligence explain this
@@AlwaysOnForever It's a pun on the "no strings attached" saying. It normally means that there are no extra terms and obligations related to the deal, but in this case it can be taken literally and say that the piano has no strings to play with 😂
@@monkeykonggaming he bought a baby grand piano for 50$ with no strings attached meaning no catch but pianos have big wires and strings inside so I thought he meant they didn’t come with the piano 😅
Loved the "Wild West" sound of the first one, must have been those bullet holes! 🙂
Just wondering, as we go up the price, where naturally grand names and grand designs begin to add zeroes to the price tag at exponential rate... how close would, say, AvantGrand N3X be to a $300k real thing?
I literally just said the first one could be part of some old western movie and stand in some old bar 😂
For my money, I would go with the 2nd piano. Good overall sound, and you can still put food on the table.
Can you give me some? 🙂
Hahaha I love your comment!
I'm a Nigerian prince. If you give me 5,000 USD for a lawyer, I can get back all of the gold my family stole from me. After the legal process is finished, I will share it with you. 😂
You can use it as a dinner table too. Get rid of the table to save for piano!
@@Deathlot you're really from Nigeria arnt you? Lol
Yes, you can hear the difference, I don't know the apropriate word to decribe it, but saturation might be a good word for it maybe on the older pianos. The newer ones feel more mechanically pure in some way.
The 600 Piano sound is like the wild west in Baars
Yeah I love the player piano sound
I tought exactly the same xD
Pretty much because of the style
Straight out of Westworld.
Sounds like the first Red Dead Redemption game pianist in the bar where you first spawn
Really interesting, 1st piano (upright) vs 1st baby grand hugh difference, sounds nice and fairly balanced. Between the 2nd and 3rd less of a difference but still noticed. 3rd and 4th getting less perceptable still noticed a difference. Finally, between 4th and 5th, wow, really noticed a difference in the bass of the lower registers and the mids seem to be a little sweeter/warmer.... but for that price, crazy, I could live the 2nd and be totally satisfied with the 3rd. Thanks for doing this comparison....
Exactly. I so agree!
I live in Florida and my house does not sound that good!
AAwesAAleyAA McD lol
May be, horse?
Its out of tune from all that humidity.
[翻译] How much is a house in Florida, if I may ask
I hope your house isn't making noises

Cheaper ones sounds more ballroomy/polka-like while the more expensive ones sound very very clean.
Sounds more suave... More calm... The cheapest one is more strident... Il
Vice versa
Cheapest is awfull, but 2nd cheapest is decent and offered a substantial gap in quality, the biggest margin. The more you oay, the less you notice the gap, more subtle
I felt that too. You can especially hear the clarity on the runs. Absolutely lovely
True but not 300,000 difference clean.
This chap could play a piano that fell out of an airplane from 20,000 feet and it would still sound better than me playing a perfectly good $300,000 piano.
Okay
Can the piano have a nice parachute on it, so it doesn't get scratched up?
it needs several parachutes. I once helped transport a piano... It's better not to agree to this :-)
then you should try $363,000 piano. Maybe you sound better
A piano that's worthy to be airlifted would cost more than that!
As the pianos became more expensive, I noticed a significant change in tone quality, especially when comparing the “clatter” of the keys and the hammers, with the most expensive giving the purest sound.
I imagine they feel way better to play, as well.
The biggest issue with this series however is that different piano manufacturers use different materials, construct pianos differently, aim for different tonal qualities, etc. I'm not denying that a lot of the differences are from price point (because price makes a massive difference and with instruments, you generally get what you pay for), but to really show the difference price has on a piano, you need to compare between models from the same manufacturer. There are other qualities too such as sensitivity/weight of the keys, how it sustains notes, how it pops back up after you press a note, etc. Those are things that you can only assess by playing on the instrument yourself.
@@shaun4bigblocksllc It isn't a BS claim. There was a significant difference in tone quality. That doesn't necessarily mean "good versus bad" but it was very obvious. Try listening to the last piano followed by the first. The first one is tinnier. It's also the kind of piano I have, so it sounds fine to me.
@@57Strudel Listening for the Second time, hearing the expensive First and then the cheap, It made sense.
@Light Angel yep u should really be there to spot the difference between these two
Once again, beautifully done. I love the fact that you compared each piano with a cost of a vehicle. Brilliant. Also, really funny. Thank you for educating me on the differences between the prices of the pianos. And of course the corresponding cars that would be worth as much as a piano 🤣

Piano Beiithner year 1953 very nice sound!!! very soft and pleasant sound...
1953 was a good year for sound. Something about the low humidity levels I think...
The sound of the cheapest piano is very funny. This piano is living his own life !
Is old school voice
Henri Bourjade sounds like shit compare to others
There is a difference. But each piano has its own unique sound. My Mom has an old player piano from 1910 and that is what I learned to play on.
kermitefrog64 what is difference from today piano
I think the difference is on the quality of the strings and the wood
Wife: we should buy a house in Florida.
Him: we should buy this 363.000$ piano and live under the bridge.
And live under the piano
someone that buys a piano like this, already has many houses
On the bright side, you can make money from your music performance compared to your house where it uses money on bills.

It is $360,000 because of the material, feel, rich sound, and it is nearly perfect.
