- Can you hear the difference between an acoustic and digital piano? Just as there are cheap digital pianos, there are also cheap acoustic pianos. I started the video by playing in a cheap digital piano, and then in the more expensive acoustic pianos. I played 5 different pianos. Can you hear any difference in sound? Which one has the best sound?

The nice thing about a digital piano is you never have to tune it (nothing sounds worse than an out-of-tune instrument). You don't have to worry about sticky keys, improper voicing, cracked soundboards and broken strings. Digital pianos are much lighter than regular pianos and easier to move. They don't take up much space. You can get one with an attractive looking cabinet. You can also turn the volume down (for neighbors or family members who don't want to hear you practicing) and you can use headphones. And the price is right. Just make sure your digital has all 88 keys and attached pedals.
Can you tell me which type he played in this video??
@@juanatayeb8236 Yes.

@@juanatayeb8236 I think it's an old portable digital grand piano. Maybe models from DGX or YPG Yamaha family. And I see he record the audio with a smal digital recorder, in the middle of the keyboard, in the top of the upright and inside the baby grand close of the strings.
@@juanatayeb8236 I believe it’s a Yamaha dgx 660
As a violinist (unfortunately for me, ex) I am trained to hear so many nuances of the same note. So yes, I do hear difference. Not just out of tune, but richness in harmonics and timbre.
i hear a difference too.. but for me, its not a 20k difference.. with a digital piano you are 97% there in my opinion. depending on the speakers you hook up.
I can hear a difference but it’s definitely not a $16,000 difference.
It is because is a $18,930 difference
Well the thing is, if you just play beginner or medium difficulty pieces, you will hardly hear any difference. But with pieces that really go heavy on pedal and everything, a cheap piano will just fail to make it sound good.
Just look up animenz's Unravel
If you can hear it over youtube, un real life it will probable be a lot more difference
Please come back to halo, walshy :(
The most you really need to spend on a key board is 800$ a d you'll get the exact same sound as a piano plus since it's a keyboard it has alot of other setting and sounds you can mess with.

Why is it that a lot of young people have troubles typing basic sentences, these days?
It's quite weird.
Puro Why does someone who “isn’t” a little kid care about someone forming the perfect sentence?
Puro technically everything you just wrote was improperly written so if i were you i wouldn’t be talking.
Could anyone of you explain what are the terrible mistakes you found in these sentences? To be honest with you I find that some of the words could be different and make the sentences more appealing to read, but none of them seem to have dramatic errors in grammar or include any inappropriate words. Even if they did, why would it be so important? Not all people have English as their native language
Puro as a twelve year old I can tell you it’s because of kids being overtested and overloaded with busy work. It demotivates people my age and forces them to associate learning with 3 solid months of standardized testing, which isn’t good.
i would gladly sell my car to buy a piano, if i had a car and could play the piano...
Dude honestly I want to learn piano so bad. The only thing is I don't know any Music Theorie. I mean I could learn it and I want to, but I dont know if my motivation is holding.
I know many ppl say u can learn it without any music theory, but is this really true?
@@zdvrk9813, I just started my piano (keyboard) journey today. There are a bunch of awesome beginner videos on youtube just learn the notes as you go...baby steps. There are easy to understand music theory videos, that are great at explaining the notes and how to read them. Just learn both at once. You will suck at both at first but as I know from practicing my drums put in 1/2 hour per day and you WILL learn and improve every day. I've been learning drums for 6 weeks now and am only just getting into reading the music.
Don't let not knowing how to read music hold you back, just go for it!!
@@charlottesmom Aww man, thanks for the great advise I really apperciate it. I honestly going to get a keyboard the next time. Noone can hold me back :D

As others have said, digital pianos have improved greatly over the last years. The sound from a digital piano depends on the speakers. Often they have little tiny speakers built in, but if hooked up to better speakers sound so much better. Nothing compares to the sensitivity of a quality acoustic piano. Digitals have their place but if you can afford a good piano and keep it tuned, it is much superior.
I play mine with good headphones...........oh boy. Roland 600
It’s not just the speakers, it’s also in the action. It’s highly inaccurate
Some times it's the poor quality of the sound sample especially on older and cheaper digital pianos🎹🎶
@@theadventureinsider
The video and resulting discussion was only about the sound. Very expensive digitals have very-close up to nearly-identical piano actions, though.
@@theadventureinsider Have you tried a digital piano with a progressive hammer action keyboard? They can be very realistic. Midi controllers and synths don't usually have this feature because they're not trying to imitate the feel of a piano.

Sure, nothing digital will beat an actual piano. But those that have a digital piano and samples sound libraries use the sounds for other purposes and not striving for the pure piano sounds. I have a multitude of sampled piano sounds and use them in my music tracks. As some others say, they never go out of tune, they are portable, and usually throw various effects on top of the raw sampled sounds. Not planning to be a concert pianist, but do it for the fun of creating music for myself.
You clearly know nothing about advanced digital pianos. To say a digital cannot beat any acoustic must mean you need to examine your sentence.
If your digital piano sound can't beat real piano, that means :
-> you've bought the wrong digital piano
-> you've set it up the wrong way.
-> you've never use high quality VST.
-> you've never put headphones/set the speaker properly.
[ digital keyboard + Good VST + headphone/speaker ] already surpass real med-high end piano.
@@01_zenyobi that's subjectiv🎹🎶
@@01_zenyobi what is then in your opinion a good digital piano and a VST to achieve a realistic acoustic sound?
what quality acoustic piano are you comparing against. Is the acoustic in tune?

I so bored so can you tell me what has happened with you in the last year?
If you stand in the room, you can actually feel the acoustics from the real piano. Sometimes you’ll get goosebumps from the harmonics opposed to digital.
Yes Lord 😇
Amen
Exactly 🐻💯
I closest I've experienced a digital get to an acoustic would be a Nord Stage three using KRK Rokit 8 g4 studio monitors. The best sounding keyboard I've ever witnessed. Can't wait for the Stage 4! As for acoustic, I've also been around a Steinway and Sons 9 and a half foot long concert grand and that is still the best sounding piano I have ever heard. The Yamaha C7 being right up there with it. Never heard a Bosendorfer in person but I've heard they are far better than a Steinway and have better touch as well. I guess I'll get my own opinion when I get to be around one one day.
This isn’t something noticeable via headphones
Biggest clear difference IMO is that you can *hear* the digital ones are coming out of speakers. Acoustic pianos play with the room's resonance and reverb.
and the speakers need to be placed relative to the keys ... woofer at the left wit the lower pitched keys, the mid-range speaker in the middle with the medium pitched keys and tweeter at the right with the higher pitched keys ... and the more speakers you use, the better you can have the notes positioned.
Johnny Topside the speakers play with the room resonance too 😉
@@CraigScottFrost prenom nom
Speakers have a beaming disperison characteristic. 30 degrees off axis and you will have a loss of high frequencies and on 60 degrees at least -10db treble loss and even midrange loss. So the ceiling gets everything and the walls much less. A mechanical piano will excite the room resounances very differently. Also keep in mind the speakers in a cheap digital piano will not do much beyond 100hz and 10khz and the plastic case will add resonances.
So... can a digital piano (with hi-fi speakers) and a mechanical piano sound the same in an anechoic camber? Maybe. But in a normal room? Never.
It's called separation. Different source gives different behaviour. Digital is from speaker then interact with air where acoustic is straight from string with construction design
its about how the keys feel too. Regular wood made piano keys are bouncy, that bounciness makes it easier to play. Keyboards usually don’t have bouncy keys
Regardless of what piano type instrument to buy for yourself or children to learn how to play, learning the correct way to play it as intended, getting the timing and speed all together, you will be forever glad you did. We had a Steinway grand piano that I learned on and the music store had an upright, there are major differences in the sound quality and in the touch of the keyboards, both were beautiful instruments. I bought several keyboards over the years since then and enjoyed all of them, so, parents, do yourself a big favor when thinking about your kids, ASK them what they would prefer to play, though I enjoyed the piano, I told my mom well in my 40s that I really wanted to play guitar.
The surprise is how darned good the electric pianos sound. They have come such a long way since the 1980's. In the first acoustic upright you played, there is a whisper-slight "detuned" effect that adds so much warmth and personality. I spent years as a professional pianist, and really, I got to where I just preferred to use a digital piano on a live gig... so there'd never be any "surprises" regarding the tuning! On your baby grand, there is also that whisper-slight detuning,-- a certain "variety" between the keys-- but it has a lovely bell-like "singing" quality that the electrics do not have. You also reveal how pianissimi are much more compelling and delicate on this piano than the others. At Nordstrom I used to play a full concert 9-foot grand... and yes, that is the "Maserati" of pianos... The bass keys have monstrous, thumping power and enveloping tone, and I admit, I loved that. The keys on a piano like this have different actions, as we know... the bass keys being almost like firm levers that unleash the thunder, while the treble keys sing with a light touch. I think some digital pianos have sought to simulate that varied action across the 88 keys... Again, for 90% of your performance purposes, a modern digital piano simply cannot be beat. Bonus points if your digital has a MIDI OUT that you can connect to your computer for synth sequencing... Magic!
I hear the digital piano in this video is a Yamaha DGX640. I bet it would sound beter if it was a DGX670🎹🎶
What is synth sequencing?
@@leoscareer It's when you play an electronic keyboard, and it sends note information out to your computer using MIDI technology; a special software records the note information, just as you played it.
Most people don't even know to connect their keyboard to laptop and use some VST to make their keyboard sound decent.
@@01_zenyobi What's VST?
The difference in the sound is the sound of an empty wallet and full wallet.
Agree!
RangedCreativity they have more distinct sounds with better pianists my dude. Its hella fuckin easy to tell the difference between a keyboard and a grand piano to a point where the music is significantly better quality. When a good pianist uses a piano, they are able to bring all of its features under the light, while keyboard lack literally everything unique about manipulating the sound from a piano with crescendos, accents, and especially 100 and 10% the pedals, since you can't recreate their function on a 70$ keyboard

Excellent demonstration teacher, thanks for sharing with us
A really nice demonstration. Although the software piano pales in comparison to the real thing, they've been steadily getting better over the years, and they have the nice feature that they don't go out of tune. Someday, there probably will be electronic pianos used in concerts. It will be as shocking as fine wine in a bottle with no cork, just a twist-off cap.

We used to sneak into the college of music to play their grand. Beautiful sounds.
I’m not a pianist, though I’m looking to get into it. However, I hear that the upright acoustic pianos produce more of a velvety sound and are much more smooth when between changing keys. The notes also overlap and linger longer when pressed-producing beautiful blends of notes that make up the piece. Overall acoustic uprights offer the listener a more pleasurable experience than digital pianos, in my humble opinion.

U must watch every piano guy that’s why I’m seeing u here
For parents introducing a child to the piano or for someone starting out, spending a modest amount initially might be the way to go. If the student falls in love with the piano, then a more serious investment makes sense. . . . Several famous guitarists, for example, started on cheap guitars they could afford. Then as their skills developed, they were able to afford more expensive instruments. Had they not started on a cheap instrument, they would have had to wait. P.S. a friend bought a relatively expensive upright for his three kids. None of them took to it. It ended up being an expensive piece of furniture.
Good advice, my 4 year started piano classes with a leased keyboard from her music school. She has continued to take to it ,now at age 7 we purchased a 500 dollar digital piano. If she continues we will consider a stand up piano. But it would be a waste to start with the most expensive instrument only so they wouldn’t take to it. Kids change their mind all the time.
@@jubjuicebruin2741, I'm glad you found it to be good advice. I also had siblings and children of my own -- all with different instruments -- that jumped in initially but then ultimately gave them up for one reason or another. The quality of less expensive digital pianos continues to improve. I think it wise to see just how committed they are before you buy "an expensive piece of furniture.". . . You gave your child an early start. Best wishes.

That's why i bought hello kitty guitars for my child
Imo a kid would probabably be mode happy learning keyboard than piano. I know thats why I quit.
Im mid 30s now, just bought a keyboard and starting again where i wish I started when I was a kid.
I got a yamaha dgx660 like 2 years ago to learn on, theres some drawbacks like how the resonance is different but a few settings tweaks and it sounds awesome, i can adjust reverb and all kinds of stuff to make it fit the vibe of the song i want to play, one day id love to have a real grand piano but its so compact and easy to record with and things like that that the price tag was definately worth it. It wasnt the most expensive thing in the world but was definately up there, my led screen broke in like 2 days but i memorized the settings in the first hour so i can navigate it no problem based on the number and order of the button presses. Its not perfect but i live in a tiny little trailer thing and it looks good where it is so im happy lol. I learn really quickly so i wanted something i wouldnt have to upgrade and I feel its safe to say this one will last years and years to come, so anyone who has the 800 or so dollars and is looking for something sleek and sturdy with lots of customizable features and velocity sensitive weighted keys, i give glowing recommendations

One of the thing I love the acoustic piano is the feelings when i play, the feelings of sounds and of the keys.
1rst of all. I love your videos, your talent is amazing. Your playing has much emotional content and is so enjoyable. Thank-you. I liked the uprite piano and the digital. I was not able to tell the difference between either. I did not like the virtual or the honky tonk. The baby grand was in a class all by itself. I had to struggle with liking it just because it was a baby grand and not based on the sound. The sound was softer than the digital or uprite and I think I preferred the sound of the digital and uprite over the baby grand. Thank-you again for all your videos.. you are absolutely amazing, and if you ever performed in America near New Jersey or New York I would love to see you, and thank-you personally for bringing much joy though your videos.. and instruction!
Even if I had a $70,000 piano I'd still make it sound like an instrument from The Exorcist
RUclips waterphone....
Yes, It's obvious that the digital one has a very synthetic and stiff sound while the accoustic one has a soft, and clear sound with a deeper vibration
Probably has something to do with the acoustics having an entire room to use as a resonating box, whereas the digitals only have tiny little speakers.
Ahh deeper vibration! That's the adjective I was trying to think of but could place my finger on!
Theres no vibration on a digital instrument. Because there are no hammers and no real resonance..

Mind you, there's some really good digital 'soundless' pianos with the $5000 - $10000 range that have the moving parts of an acoustic piano's feel so the feel is really similar and also use transducers on a soundboard to get a full bass and the vibrations that a real piano has. The difference being - they never go out of tune and if you've annoyed your neighbors enough for the day, you can switch to using headphones.

I loved the baby grand. I have only seen two in real life, once in the 70's and once in the 80's. They were both walnut and owned by classical pianists. I was only 9 years old the first time, and my best friend was taught by her grandmother.
Yes, I didn't expect it but there is a depth in the acoustic piano and grand piano that is missing from the digital ones. And I'm in no way a purist, I use digital all the time. And mostly it's enough for what I use it for. But hearing it side by side like this the difference is still remarkable.
But its equivalent to how many toyota corollas?

Over youtube the differences are not too big I must say. But if you stand right next to the real pianos, this is a completely different feeling. And they are absolutely amazing things, so much detail, so much craftsmanship. They are works of art. But I love my synths ^^
Yeah, I can clearly hear the difference, but I'm running a room sized stereo, with top-line speakers. Speaker size matters. 😆
This exactly. You don’t just hear the difference in person, you feel it.
wdym, I hear the difference so much, are you tone deaf(Not asking sardonically)?
@@wadepatton2433 Good Headphones are all you need to hear the difference.
I wasn't being serious about size matters--I actually threw out the larger speakers I had because they had not the quality of sound of these Bose. I've misplaced my good headphones.
Vinheteiro eu fico tão triste que os Brasileiros não valoriza seu canal de piano. Eu acompanho ele faz tempo e fiquei bolado que seus videos passaram a ser em inglês. Mas entendo seus motivos e você tem razão!

What was the classical piece played at the end? Cuz it reminded me of “pain” by pinkpantheress
there is obviously a difference between the pianos (perhaps to a non-musician there may be little to no difference)... and in person or a studio recording, there is even more of a difference... but a digital piano is fine for 99% of the people out there. unless you are a professional (or just have a ton of disposable income), there is no need to spend 1000's or 10,000's on a piano when you are just playing for fun or learning. I see so many spend a small fortune and it ends up sitting there unused a few years later. unless you plan on playing for a living or at a very high level, buy a digital piano or a cheaper acoustic... a better piano wont make you an expert player... but an expert can make a great piano sound even better.
Justin I would disagree there I think that investing ina decent piano 3-6k(aud) is defiantly worth it unless you want the features of a digital piano or you don’t want everyone here you play or practice
BulletProof Tomato Spending 3-6k on something is a lot of money, and an acoustic piano probably won't make you better than that you would playing on a digital one. I would probably always start buying a digital one first, simply for practice and getting into playing it. If I would find myself enjoying it a lot and playing like everyday, I would only then probably start considering getting a more expensive acoustic one
spook woop ohhh ok I misunderstood from before, I assumed the buyer was already enjoyed playing the piano, what you are saying makes perfect sense:)
Justin I've been playing the piano for 18 years, and over that time I've literally played thousands of pianos, keyboards, stage and digital pianos, and I'll say this, I have a 250 watt ibanez bass amp($345) and a Yamaha ypt 300 that I regularly gig with that I would put up against ANY professional quality arranger as far as piano sound goes, you don't need a high-end or even mid-range keyboard for authentic, deep and Rich piano sound quality, all you need is the right type of amplification, like I said before, Ibanez is what I regularly use, but a David Eden preamp with a hartke cabinet will REALLY make a cheap keyboard shine, hell, it'll even make a Casio 61 key keyboard sound like a tolerable Yamaha Keyboard, but that eden/hartke combo is out of my price range, but Ibanez definitely gets the job done
The .45 Caliber Wizard exactly, you can make a keyboard sound just as good if not better than your average acoustic piano. Plus you get the added benefit of portability. Try getting a full sized piano into the top floor of an apartment with no elevator.. you’ll never want to work an acoustic piano ever again lol
The second digital was actually really good. #2 and and the baby were the best
Gralyn Stiehl I dont understand clearly what preset select on digital - for piano or for grand piano? How i can compare scene by headphones and you tube:)?
Gralyn Stiehl I agree.
101picofarad um. He probably went with a grand preset and possibly had some sort of mixverb effect added. Possibly his keyboard gives him that option. Or its a super good digital. It had a roomy sound that was nice
Gralyn Stiehl it’s Piano Sonata No. 8 in C minor, 2nd movement
Gralyn Stiehl I can hear it but can't explain it
Whichever piano or keyboard it is as soon as your hands fall on them beautiful music comes out
Thanks. But the Digital Piano can not capture some notes of the Bright Waltz.

My son has a touch sensitive keyboard for his small apartment and playing for bands. Now he has a very nice house with lots of room for his very nice used 6 foot Grand Piano. Sounds so nice and fills house beautiful sound. Great for my Grandkids. What ever floats your Boat and needs. Thanks
Thats great btw i am also a piano player currently in college

Sebastian MFB song covers on RUclips those videos get lots of views.

I'm listening through Kanto U6 speakers digitally connected and I hear a tremendous difference, especially if I skip back and forth. The analogue pianos sounded richer as one might expect.
I think its not just the sound i mean it is but also its the weight of the keys the slight imperfections the most unocitble things that make it such a differance a real accoustic piano has such magic in it.
Acoustic pianos (even the cheap one) have something I would describe as resonance that no digital piano have I ever heard recreate. The notes feel like they have more substance as the vibrations of each individual note alter all the others while being altered by them.
It's just a matter of using professional samples. I use a masterkeyboard with weighted wooden keys $1.2k and 50GB worth of samples (4 different pianos) with authoring software about $2k. And zero latency sound card $250.
Also important are professional JBL monitor speakers tuned to the piano frequency $500 for just the pair of speakers without any amp.
Most people expect a digital piano to perform like a real piano. In reality most if not all digital pianos will be fitted with the cheapest possible mono speakers worth $10.... The second most important are the samples.... even Professional Senheiser Headphones won't sound good if the samples are quantized, flat and output to a 16k mono signal.
I would always recommend to avoid buying the "complete package" when trying to go for the digital experience. Always choose a masterkeyboard without any samples and buy the samples/modules separately. It will 100% sound better but most people prefer the complete package for practicality and manufacturers know that. The gap between even the top tier digital e-pianos and what you can do with professional sample packages on a computer is very very very big.
@@picketf Which sounds to me only worth doing if you need such professionally either for portability or because you are creating music in the computer and what you describe is easier than building your own sound proof studio with an acoustic piano in it.
@@darthhodges
My point was: E-piano's will always sound worse because the cheaper you build them the more profitable the business. So it's always a race to put out the smallest increment of upgrades on decades old framework. People choose to spend 10k on high end e-pianos rather than research a good sample creator that uses an array of directional microphones in the worlds best sounding concert halls and grand piano's for their library. If you buy instrument and samples separately you will always get the better deal.
I would recommend a pro masterkeyboard (like Kawai VPC1)/samples/computer gear package over a real piano to everyone unless you are talking about a second hand instrument.
I noticed that too, even listening to it through crappy computer speakers. Another factor is that your digital piano has some square inches of sound producing surface in the speakers at each end. An upright acoustic piano has square feet of soundboard, with some of the sound coming through the front of the instrument and the rest coming off the back and bouncing off the wall. Through a big P.A. of course, the digital piano would come a lot closer to matching what the acoustic one does.
Try kawaii digital pianos. They have the resonance that only an acoustic piano has... I m sure other digital pianos have the same thing but i ve heard it only from kawaii
Most upright pianos I've come across were free...provided I moved them myself.
@PhyZeik Hey, free pianos is free pianos.
You wouldn't think that they can weigh as much as they do. I think they add rocks to them.
Then I guess you haven't come across some "real" pianos and perhaps only those cheap ones that costs 20-30 grand when new :)
@@picitnew You'd be surprised. Most were the heavy cheap ones, like one would expect. Then there's the Steinway baby grand that ended up in a friend's living room.
@@ravenslaves omg... How did you find a steinway baby grand for free...
@@lmzl9666 It was just a case of being at the right place at the right time. This person didn't play and they just wanted it gone (very nice house). It was so unplayed that it didn't sound that good at first. So my friend spent at least a year playing the thing to death until it really started to resonate and chime.
That one was a keeper. So he did.
Some of the other really old uprights though, surprised us all with how complex the tones were.
Most were just hernias in the making.
Interesting demo. Can you please tell us what songs are in the Demo? Thank you
Dude, that last song! I just bought an electric piano a few days ago.. And thx to you i found this song again. I just tried to play it.. man! it's difficult!! I could do the 'base' part with my left hand (after 2 hours) and the right hand does the pingeling, but not at the same time, hahaha
i like it, thx for that last song, its in my repertoire now
the acoustic sounds better, but if you compare the price, its not worth to spent like 400 more to upgrade the sound from 8 to 10. Because in modern time, we have things can make any instruments sounds better. to be honest, the music is for listening, if you feel it's good, nothing else matter. But if you have lot of money and want to spend it, just go ahead
To be fair, that last 2 points increase can be worth it if you perform live, since you can tell the difference much better live, I've had a cheap 100€ digital piano when starting to learn years ago and now I have a used 400€ acoustic one at home, not the greatest in the world, I must admit, but it sounds and feels much better than the old one, but compared to the grand piano that is at my sister's school, a new yamaha c3x...
Yeah, you really can tell there's a difference, trust me.
It's not only on the fingers: I went to a piano concert last year and they had two Grand Baby there, I was sat at the end of a not very large crowd and i could feel the whole room shaking when the two pianists hit those notes. They were playing Dance Macabre. Op. 40 for two pianos - of course - and it's very different to listen to it on my computer and listen to it live.
It depends if u want to play professionally or go into competion or not. If u want to play professionally or go into competitions i suggest u to have a upright or grand piano cause it feels different from electric piano.
The most important thing you get with an acoustic piano is the feel. I had the pleasure to play a bit on a new model of yamaha grand piano (it was 3 months ago or so just for the time reference so you can prolly find the model if you want) and oh man. That piano was a drug to me!!! I wanted to be on it for HOURS just playing it and listening to it. I own an electric piano at home which has a pretty good feel for electric pianos but its nothing like an actual piano.
No it's certainly worth it. Sound is not everything to a piano.
with the keyboard it actually feels like something is pressing on my ears, while you can actually feel the resonating space inside the real piano.
I am not a musician by any stretch of the imagination. For me, although I hear perfectly, all music played with real, not synthesized instruments is about the feeling, the vibration of the instrument, not just the sound.
i agree there is something so great about real pianos rather than digital
Can sure feel the difference.
Digital pianos really sound very good because they're mostly recordings of actual pianos, by hearing this video I think the most difference stands from the fact the real piano is just being captured in its purest form by the mic, while the digital ones are being reproduced by cheap built-in speakers.
Puriest? Any sound depends on the space and settings. Let alone the recording technologies. And how diiferent brains receive it. Nothing is pure, all mediated.
@@verycd Yes, Purest! I didn't say it was perfect, I said it was the purest. That means it doesn't get much better than that! Thanks for the lecture though!
A premium digital will sound very good, but mid-range and lower can sound less than stellar. Some of the most expensive and advanced digitals now use entirely modelled sounds that are capable of producing detail that a sampled piano can't, but some people still prefer sampled.
@@Biozene Why do people prefer sampled to modeled with more details?
@@verycd Apparently they sound more authentic to a lot of people. And according to certain experts, that could be the case because a sample picks up certain imperfections that exist on pianos, whereas a lot of modelled piano sounds are purer; as though you're listening to a polished recording rather than a live piano. But opinion is still pretty split.
I'm quite happy to buy a modelled piano. The Roland LX series has a lot going for it!
A pianist, who happens to be a Car enthusiasts😄
There are lots of musicians who happen to be car enthusiasts. I'm a prime example of one. I play guitar and piano and I bought my first car which was a 53 belair 215 straight six three on tree for 1700 U.S. dollars.
I've met car mechanics who are piano enthusiasts
Random Stuff it’s not as easy as it sounds. Starting playing seems a bit easier but if you want to play a song you will need to practice it and learn the correct fingerings.

I can hear the difference the acoustic seemed to have a more clear crisp sound while the digital one sounded a little rough. I wasn't sure their would be a difference but now I think I see well hear it. As well as with the upright piano and the honky-tonk one. The upright had a clear crisp sound while the other provided a seemingly more 'rough' sound. I don't really know why but I feel like I like the sound of the upright one even better than the grand piano.

Since we are listening to this on RUclips, it is all in digital anyway..😂😂😂😂😂
But if youve got at least some good pair of speakers capable of neutral sound making, you can hear most of the differences. To me, the digital piano sounds kinda flat, with no depth at all.
@@Morpheus-pt3wq if you are using a cheap digital piano from Walmart, yes. But an expensive one, with high-end Sound Processing chips, will sound pretty much the same or even better.
Yes..indeed
But since we've all got analogue ears we're all listening to it in analogue, aren't we
Guys, I can hear the difference with my iPhone. it’s pretty noticeable how much depth the acoustic uprights have over the keyboards, and then how much larger and “grand” the baby grand sounds
