Even if they did, why would it be so important? Not all people have English as their native language

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

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.

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.

[@brandyballoon]

@@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.

[@johnicorn]

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.

[@SkyCharger001]

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.

[@esekion1]

Johnny Topside the speakers play with the room resonance too 😉

[@raykdreisatzgehtanders7239]

@@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.

[@trym2121]

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

[@lucienne8476]

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

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.

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!

Thanks for the posting and discussion. What is forgotten in all this is that you are listening to an electronic piano through speakers or headphones compared to a real piano also heard through speakers or headphones. Tough to tell the difference sometimes and depending on the microphone arrangements, the sound of a digital piano will often outshine the sound of the acoustic piano . A true comparison though, is to be in a room listening to the acoustic sound of a real piano and comparing that to the sound of an amplified or digital piano. However good the digitised piano or the loudspeaker system, most people would easily tell the difference. I know which I would prefer to listen to.

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.

[@bulletprooftomato3766]

[@spookwoop1295]

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

[@the.45caliberwizard53]

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

[@MarcelNL]

Yeah the digital one sounds so harsh; I couldn't listen long to it. I'm not very fond of my very linear sounding high-end speakers, but on this channel I notice that good piano music is their absolute strength.

[@darthhodges]

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.

[@picketf]

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.

[@darthhodges]

@@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.

[@picketf]

@@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.

[@captaccordion]

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.

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.

[@verycd]

@@Biozene Why do people prefer sampled to modeled with more details?

[@Biozene]

@@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!

[@Yamasutra]

Think it would have been far more interesting as a blind study where a few weeks later you reveal the results. I feel it's likely a lot of people are saying the real one sounds better because they have the visual cue to work from. Yes, there was a difference, but it, to me feels like such a subtle difference (mostly normalized key velocity and the faintest artifacting) Fact is, the differences between the $70 and the $20k were so minor that the only thing that matters is the actual song, and the person playing it. Put me in front of the $20k, and you in front of the $70, and advertise it, and we advertised it to audiences unaware that I have the ability of a flopping fish and you, quite frankly are amazing, I guarantee I'd sell more tickets. It's because there is an expectation that one will sound better than the other, but those that went to see you instead of me would have been far more impressed. That said, that same air of sophistication around the real pianos that make them (for the most part due to placebo in my guess) sound better is worth it. Now, I know people will get all pomp and stiff upper lip about this shit, but that's why a blind study would have been far better, because they will be solid in their conviction that given identical room setups, all recordings properly balanced, they'd have just as easily have been able to tell the difference. Maybe they're righy, maybe not. Until then, cool video, but hardly conclusive imo

[@hackel137]

Yes, I was also wishing this had been done as a blind study. However, suggesting the electronic keyboard wasn't ridiculously worse than a of the others is disingenuous at best, an outright lie at worst.

Close your eyes. It's very difficult to tell if you are playing a high end digital piano to the real thing. A couple of points though. For digital piano, you need good quality high fidelity speakers, specifically tuned for the piano range in order to faithfully recreate the sound. The real pianos, you can tell very subtle harmonics.. especially in the transition between minor and major keys. Environment emperature and humidity will also play it's part in varying the sound. Interesting experiment. I'd have to hear it live though to really pick them out. KZbin compresses the sound a bit.

[@Photologistic]

Actually, it’s pretty easy to tell, at the very least, difference between uprights and everything else.

[@SamuelKristopher]

This is the key thing. Over my speakers, they sound relatively similar, but I can clearly hear the difference when I personally play my digital keyboard and my upright - there's no question about it. My digital keyboard isn't cheap either, but I mainly use it for digital composing. For regular piano playing I would always choose acoustic. There's just something irreplaceable about the way its sound vibrates around the room that a digital piano simply can't imitate.

[@tomskinner5935]

One of the biggest giveaways in most "real life" situations is that digital pianos are always in tune. Most real pianos are usually not.

[@manictiger]

Flawed test. Speakers/headphones can't replicate the sound of IRL piano strings. On top of this, KZbin compresses the sound into an MP3. If the vid was encoded with MP3, then it's going to be even worse, since it's being compressed twice.

[@rpcheesman]

It could have been excellent to include a physical modeling piano too - digital but built using a virtual model of the sound generation of a real piano.

Piano definitely sounds better but you didn't play high-end keyboards from Casio, Yamaha, or Roland that sell for thousands and sound amazing!

[@oooodaxteroooo]

Gnosis7 the highend ones get better, but id prefer a real pne anytime. however, you need the cash, the room and the neighbors to play a real one. my piano restaurator offers a silent system, too. he buils laser readers, string dampers etc into the real piano. then by the push of a touch screen you can actually use a real piano both ways with 100% accurate key feel.

[@MichaelOrtega]

oooodaxteroooo Why would you spend your money on a silent piano the purpose of a real acoustic piano is to enjoy its resonance while you play? I would just simply move to a place that I am allowed to make noice if I’m going to spend the money on a real acoustic piano anyways. I just bought my first grand piano and I play it as loud as I can because I bought a house with a large yard away from other houses in a rural area where I can get a bigger house for cheaper! I knew I wanted to make noise and I wanted peace of mind, so why live in the city? Why buy a silent piano? Screw all that.

[@oooodaxteroooo]

Michael Ortega imagine your daughter starting to learn the piano when you work from home. imagine wanting to play at night when your not alone in the house. imagine the difference in key action. imagine having a real piano when you want it without a second device! ;) of course you can switch it on/off - thats the whole idea. but i get your point. congrats to anyone who can afford not just a piano but also a house away from the city to play. i suspect the percentage of people that love piano and can immediatel afford both is rather low - especially in the real estate bubble were in. good for you, though :)

[@Daberney]

Michael Ortega: A grand piano is designed to be heard in concert halls and other large spaces, and to have the power to cut through an entire symphony orchestra. For most living spaces, I think a good upright (like the one in this video) is probably a better choice, and for apartment dwellers a high quality digital piano certainly makes the most sense. I'd venture to say that sitting in one's living room and playing a grand piano as loudly as possible on a regular basis might well lead to eventual hearing loss. By the way, another reason to choose a digital piano is if you like to sing while you play, making yourself heard over the sound of even a moderately sized upright can blow your voice out in pretty short order, unless you're a trained opera singer---that's why vocalists in piano bars almost always use microphones, while the piano is unamplified.

[@MichaelOrtega]

Where and why

[@stateofcarter4140]

Facts.

[@scottharris7222]

Mic it up , do your best , rent expensive microphones then compare it the very best sample libraries on the market. You'll be shocked. We listen to most music as it was recorded not as it is vibrating in room. For capturing good recordings the average room is subpar, the average piano is not up to it.

[@WarlordRising]

Considering the astounding price difference, I hate to say this. Yes, I do hear the difference. The richness and texture of acoustic still sounds better than its digital counterpart.

[@mackturrican216]

The accoustic sounds better, but I wonder if thats just because of how he recorded it. An electric piano that uses samples from a real instrument should be almost identical. There are too many variables for me to really decide.

[@TheMissingLink2]

Yes, it sounds better but is the quality of the sound really worth $19,000??? Maybe a few grand at best if you count aesthetics but to me the value is absolute bs.

[@antigen4]

no because mostly the digital samples are A. transposed and B. do not interact with the structure of the piano in the same way - each note is recorded independently - so there's no organic 'flowing together' of the notes the way there are with a 'proper' piano ...and most of the harmonics or sounds created by the actual BOX are transposed with the digital versions ...

[@antigen4]

so it's all about the combining of notes etc

[@testname4464]

Did you do a blind test or watch the footage?

[@Ciaran55]

maybe you won't hear a difference, but you will feel a difference when you're in a room with an actual piano (because of the sound waves)

[@Night-Sight]

Speakers also make sound waves. :/

[@Ciaran55]

@@Night-Sight speakers give you two sources of them (four if you include treble/tweeters). In contrast, each piano string is a source of sound. that's a minimum of 88. also, a piano has a soundboard, which again passes on sound.

[@TheLucidDreamer12]

@@Ciaran55 Also, real pianos can be tuned harmonically, although the math says no. The digital piano invariably uses even tempered tuning, which is discernable to anyone with perfect pitch.

The real piano also feels way better to play than a digital because you can feel the actaual feedback you get when you press the keys if you know what im trying to say

[@talexb]

After playing the piano for most of my life, I can certainly tell when it's a real piano and when it's electronics. I can also hear when the piano's out of tune. The baby grand (Grand Baby, for some reason) has the best sound of the bunch, not surprisingly, the upright is close behind. And thank you for closing with the Gymnopedie #1 (sp?) -- that is a sublime piano piece -- so good.

I understand German and the Volkswagen is translated to people's car and it was made to be cheaper than the BMW and porsche btw their both German cars actually all the cars on this comment is German so totally not a coincidence

[@crainsie]

The sound of the acoustic pianos is immeasurably better - warmer, richer, deeper, more sustained, less rigid, varied. But for under $500 the digital piano is pretty good.

[@thorz.2222]

Even though this is a low-fi recording, you can still hear the difference in the resonance when the Sustain Pedal is helddown on the real Pianos, especially the Grand. I have a Yamaha Montage with the Bosendorfer module which does a really good impression of a Grand Piano. For all practical purposes, I think the electronic Bosendorfer is my best bang for the buck. I almost get a Grand Piano for just $2500. It doesn't take up the space of a full sized piano either.

[@henningandersen9027]

I do believe I can hear the difference of an old used VW and the piano costing the same.
