Can You Hear The Difference Between a Cheap and Expensive Piano?

Can you hear the difference between an expensive piano and a cheap piano? I started the video playing on cheap pianos and gradually increased their quality. Can you hear the difference between them? Which one is the best?

[@bellamyblake5382]

In my opinion, somewhere after the piano for $275 thousand, the difference in sound became less and less significant. I even liked the sound of the mentioned piano more than the more expensive variants. I think the cost is more justified by the design, the material of the case, the limitations, the brand and the status of the architect. And the filling is not much different

[@MichaelGrubeMiGru]

That's what I thought as well. I don't think a golden piano necessarily sounds better than a white one...

[@shannamcmellon572]

I thought the same thing as well. If a piano is tuned correctly and the pianist is skilled, a 2k piano can sound just as good as a 700k piano.

[@ghr8184]

Same for me. 100,000 to 275 thousand was miniscule and after that, there was maybe a slight tonal difference from one instrument to the other, but not a difference in quality.

[@dmytrotsvyntarnyi799]

Yes, you are right. At that point, it becomes more of a sculpture rather than just a musical instrument

[@MERCEDES-BENZS600GUARD_V12]

​​@@shannamcmellon572 that depends on the model of the piano. Not unless it's a concert grand piano, and the seller really wants to get rid of it to the point of selling it for 2K which in most cases highly unlikely. A grand piano still feels different to play than an upright piano. Also for those curious I would like to add that Vinheteiro might have gotten the labels for the Bechstein Concert8 and Hoffmann T161 mixed up because the Bechstein Concert8 is an upright piano🎹🎶

It may seem some sound a bit fuller and some sound somewhat brighter, but the differences are minute from what you can tell out of a youtube video which for sure does not use the most audiophile coded for audio compression (it usually simply does not have to). Assuming more or less ide tical methods of recording, being left or right of a grand piano due to the open lid makes a difference. But then they are in different rooms with different characteristics and reflections, and most of all, they are made of different materials, wood, resin, steel. So there have to be at least very fine differences. If most of us are able to tell those apart? Nah, don't think so.

[@richardgirard8218]

Some of the expensive ones sounded like the had less sustain so the notes sounded short. Maybe the area they where contained made a difference.

[@Ryarios]

I ‘listen’ to pianos. The looks of many of the expensive ones do nothing for me other than make me cringe. I would be much more impressed with the gold leafed one if that were the just wood finished to that color with the grain still visible, I think.

[@YaelSharon3410]

The 50$ one and the 700$ one sound like saloon pianos you hear in the movies, I think both have a charming nostalgic sound to them...

I liked the $50 upright and the next one up, the best. I was a piano technician apprentice for the premier piano technician in the U.S. in the 70's-80's. He was flown all over the country to voice (not a tuner but worked with them) symphony pianos. In the studio in Phoenix, we restored all kinds of wonderful old pianos, uprights and grands alike, and my boss was already warning about the use of teflon bushings and other non-organic materials in modern brands, against how the pianos were originally made and how they needed to be restored using the same organic materials. Wool felts and hammers, felt bushings, animal glues, even ivory keys were hard to find from used sources at that early time. To me, all the really expensive grands sounded very bright and harsh, might have been in part the show room acoustics, but I'd rather have and hear the richer tone of the organic older instrument. Thank you so much for your excellent video and the illustration that reminded me of my early training.

I don't know much about pianos but I agree with you, instruments back in the day were made with real natural materials and that must have something to do with how they sound.

No one is going to argue that Faziolis don't have a beautiful tone, but the amazing thing is that Paolo Fazioli and his company manage to do whatever the client wants (even build pianos out of bizarre casing materials) and still retain that magnificent sound and key action, which is unlike any other piano that's been built. Italian craftsmanship at its finest. I think you could commission Fazioli to put a piano in a dumpster and expect the same level of sound quality and key feel, and that's why they start at almost $300,000.

[@kosmosyche]

The metal piano at 2:53 sounded really harsh and unappealing, even though it looked cool in a brutalist sort of way. I respect Fazioli's craftsmanship, their concert grands are among the best in business on the highest level with the best of Bösendorfers and Steinways, but the metal piano is just no. I understand that at that point it's a work of art rather than an instrument, but honestly they shouldn't have agreed to do that for any money if they were to put their name on it. It's not a good representation of their brand in terms of sound. lol

I agree for the most part. These are great artwork pieces, but I did think that the Flying Fazoli had an interesting variation in sound. What caught my attention was the last piano, the Gold Leaf, interestingly had beautiful reverb and echo. Whether this was the room it was located in, or something about the make of the piano itself, it has a wonderful sound. Personally, I'd say the improvement isn't worth the cost if it's because of the gold plating though...

[@lennyvalentin6485]

@@RKumono There's a roughly zero percent chance the gold plating had anything to do with the way the instrument sounds. Gold leaf is incredibly thin (to the extent that the total amount of gold on that piano most likely is just a few grams), and also very soft, so would not be very likely to interact with the sound in any meaningful way.

@@caelestigladii no offense, but that is silly. Anything one might find preferable about analog gear (outside of placebo effect), has everything to do with the gear used…not the source recorded. Some analog gear sounds like trash. Some sounds subjectively good because of the way it literally distorts the recording - that’s right, analog character comes from harmonic distortion, not fidelity. Further, what do you even mean by “analog”? Any and every mic used is going to be “analog” on the front end, and most likely the back. Preamp, maybe or maybe not. But then what…are you suggesting that if they’d recorded to tape it would be more transparent? Lol. No. Bottom line, all other things being equal, a well done digital recording at adequate bit/sample rate is going to represent the source as it actually is better than any vague, nondescript allusion to an “analog” signal chain. There’s finer details one could consider about a/d conversion, but all this hooplah folks regurgitate about analog universally being better is very uninformed. Some gear sounds great, just as some software processing sounds great. But that has nothing to do with accuracy and fidelity of raw recordings. Peace.

[@djhofer6187]

@@replacesoundboard true. But the fidelity lost with the audio I’d bet 99.9% of folks can’t hear, and it’s applied across all the pianos, so it’s a constant. Of far more significance is the mic and the room the instruments are in.

[@replacesoundboard]

@@djhofer6187 One thing for certain is, no matter how hard I try to record my own upright, it always fails to be as magnificent as when I actually play it; although it partly has to do with my not knowing how to record properly.

[@le4122]

That's exactly what I want to see Vinheteiro. Best video on your channel

[@Lord_Vinheteiro]

Thank you!

[@telsonalves8060]

Feliz Ano Novo. Que vídeo sensacional.

[@karlsonkab51]

(-a higher bitrate codec could help) with such beautiful playing I wish you had access to the fabled Siena Pianoforte. What microphones and spacing were used and were they used throughout this seemless video?

[@Wecoc1]

I can't believe he actually bought all those pianos just for this video! Thanks, Vinheteiro!

[@seniorslaphead8336]

He's fine... bunged them on ebay afterwards...

[@jacekpiotrowski607]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Littlesonofabitch]

he didn't, he just go to those places where are located

[@TheRealMrSue]

I literally just got into piano and I am loving your videos. Awesome content!!🎉

[@iantellam9970]

I think I liked the walnut one the best. But I don't know how much the room acoustics affected the sounds. The gold one was pretty nice tbf.

[@lilamyr-composition3413]

❤❤❤ Tanks you for this video si interesting

[@matthewwalter9643]

My favourites were my teachers' black baby grand (either a Kawai or Yamaha) and my wife's late Grandma's beautiful upright mahogany (Yamaha I think?). And you sir chose a beautiful piece to demonstrate the different pianos with!

[@caper770]

I am not a professional piano player, but a piano fanatic. When I see one, I have to play a few notes on it. To me the sound is all. And I can honestly say, I have only played on about 5 pianos in all this time which has touched my heart. My first choice is Steinway, by far. I have also played on a Bechstein which had the most beautiful tone. The irony is that my own piano is a real cheapy, but with an excellent sound till about 3 years ago when the baseboard started to bend. Cant afford to have it fixed though

[@nr6366]

And Your Playing Vinheteiro. PRICELESS!

[@richardsmith2289]

Yes. There was a Bosendorfer at my school I never heard another piano sound like it - and I'm a horn player!

[@ipurpleyou5227]

Funny how I liked the sounds of some less expensive pianos more than the expensive ones

[@dakotatwilight]

I can definitely hear the difference in tone and timbre of each and have to say that the only two I was not fond of was what I later found out to be the resin piano and the steel(?) Piano, being vision impaired I tend to listen first and later watch.

[@user-to7rm5jf5k]

Хорошо настроенный инструмент великолепно звучит, не зависимо от его цены.

[@victorche3474]

Вся прелесть в обертонах. Дорогие звучат точно, но очень сухой звук. Удивляют только ценой.

[@maxmax1626]

Hoffman and bechstein for my ears i like the sound. Honestly need to hear them in the same venue size to know which one I like the most.

[@sitresjolie2343]

Thank you. Each piano had its charm; my favorite was the mellow tones of the Hoffmann. ❤

[@f.michaelbremer-cruz2708]

Wow, that was so interesting. What has always amazed me most about your playing is that you do most of it from memory, often staring at the camera and doing it so brilliantly. That said, it's stunning to consider the market value of some of those pianos. Thanks for sharing this with us. :)

[@magicmulder]

If you find a good pianist who can’t memorize the pieces, call the news.

[@bendigeidfranemmanueljones5694]

​@@magicmulder Yes that's not the difficult bit.

[@gerrymcdonald6194]

We had a Gerhard Heintzman full-size upright piano at home when I was a kid. It is now almost 125 years old and still plays very well. 5 generations of our family have learned to play piano on it. It's still beautiful, sounds great (given professional tunings along the way), and has a few small scars from festive drink glasses across the top. We still have the original key for the keyboard cover. This piano is a Time Machine; it stores family history, family memories. It show up in so many family photos .. some going all the way back to WW2. This piano is like family ... we'd grieve if we let it go. Pianos are (can be) special .. very special.

[@VST-PianoswithClassicalM-nr9df]

The Hoffman T161 had the best sound in my ears. The tones merge together, something that I miss with the expensive Faziolis.

[@silasqueiroz8707]

A verdade é que não tem preço termos um musicista como você Vinheteiro representando nosso país. Parabéns pelo excelente trabalho. O melhor vídeo de todos pelo trabalho de reunir todos esses pianos.

[@borjalg6448]

Por que se parece com um estrangeiro?? @@patricia78788

[@FuchsPiano]

The best quality piano, I have heard and played on, was a full size grand Steinway and Sons piano, with ivory keys. It was amazing. And I could here the difference in each piano. I really enjoyed your performance of Chopin’s Grand Valse Brilliant. Great Job🎉🎉🎉 And by far, the gold piano was my favorite. Keep up the great piano playing😄

[@Zerbey]

Really high end Steinways almost sounds too good to my ears. Brilliant pianos of course, but I dunno I prefer a bit of character.

[@georgytarasov3497]

[@mytube456321]

0:33 самое мягкое звучание. Дальше уже разницы не было, иногда даже хуже, особенно металлическая рояль (6-тонная).

[@MikeKobb]

The Kengo Kuma Fazioli wins for me in terms of visual interest, but I preferred the sound of the more modest pianos, from the Hoffmann upright through the first Fazioli. Of course it's very hard to judge truly from a video like this because they are all recorded in different spaces and so on.

[@leoorona1482]

Very nice video! In my opinion it is hard to really appreciate the differences when you listen to a recording, because it will always depend on the microphone you use to record, the ambient where the piano is located, the compression you choose to edit the recording, the chipset of your computer sound or mobile phone (the equalizer settings), the quality of your headphones or the speakers 🤭. Although you can hear the differences, at the end of the day the perception and acceptance will be different to each person. I think there are many models among them which sound fabulous.

[@jenniferh1416]

The only one I didn't immediately like was the Flying Fazioli which is attached to the buliding. Sound with my speakers was jarring compared to the others.

[@samuelhernandez732]

Amazing sound congratulations pianist🎉😍🎵🎹🎶👍🥂

[@Macias8200]

Your son is so fortunate to have a father like you.

[@henryvanweeren7233]

The fact some very beautiful and expensive pianos are here in Canada--and he travelled here to play them--is priceless. Thank you.

[@sarahsercombe9845]

wow so cool that you got to play all of those really unique and expensive pianos!!!! Great video!!!!

[@user-pn6ub9qd8g]

The Kengo Kuma Fazioli Grand Piano - Great SOUND!!!! THANKS, THANKS, THANKS !!! A sound engineer with 20 years of experience.

[@elgaen555]

The value equivalencies were interesting, how markets value things is wild.

[@legionsofmarduk]

I got to play a Fazioli F278 a couple of weeks ago. I've played Yamaha, I've played Baldwin, I've played Steinway, I've played Bosendorfer...all of them paled in comparison to the Fazioli. It was the best piano I've ever played. Hands down. At about $250k it's more than I'll ever be able to afford, but I can go play this one anytime I want so I'll definitely be going to play it again!

[@KiKi-tf8rv]

I’ve played all the others, but I haven’t played a Fazioli yet! Hopefully some day!❤

[@janegreen9340]

I’m not a musician and I envy you your talent. My preferred instrument is the W Hoffmann T161 at a mere $47 000- it has a wonderfully rounded warmth to the sound and I immediately saw a candlelit ballroom filled with swirling dresses and tailcoats - also a joyous sound. Some of the high end stuff sounded so similar and was very brittle and harsh- not pleasant. As ever cost does not always reflect being classy and some instruments looked like expensive tat. A Really interesting film thanks.

[@MERCEDES-BENZS600GUARD_V12]

By "Hoffmann T161" you mean the upright piano before the first Fazioli? That's the Bechstein Concert8. He got the labels mixed up with just those 2 pianos. Hoffmann is owned by Bechstein though🎹🎶

[@YourHeroML]

I love the 2 piano old rag sounds

[@rileyoconnor2276]

I was in vancouver today and i played on the cloud fazioli

[@whatever3612]

I can definitely hear the difference among the lower cost pianos. But the $100k-$1mil range become kinda blurred. I was however, very suprised that I loved the sound of the last piano. I think it's because you were playing the last part of the song which hits the lower notes where you can hear the full breath of the instrument.

[@KingdaToro]

And I can just imagine how much better that part would sound on a Bosendorfer Imperial with the extra bass notes!

[@replacesoundboard]

It has a lot to do with the acoustic of the room. All the designer pianos were on hard floor, with hard walls and windows, whereas the last one benefited from wooden flooring, which is good.

[@genegade]

They're also basically all Faziolis

[@bridaw8557]

It may also depend on acoustics of the building.

[@sststr]

Once you get around $300K, any differences in sound quality there might be become too slight for me to distinguish. Whatever I thought I heard might be different, I could just as easily chalk up to the difference in acoustics as to the pianos themselves. Tough to be sure when they are each in a different kind of acoustic environment. Although I guess the $3 million gold one did sound different enough to not just be acoustics, but presumably the gold making the difference. Not sure it was actually a better sound though, just a little bit different in a way that probably wasn't the acoustics. Several of them I expect the absurd price to be to the artsy nature of the frame rather than anything particularly special about the materials or mechanics of how it plays.

[@phaedrus2633]

Your piano playing.....priceless!

[@freshspiritworks4535]

Wow, you can hear the difference - what amazing pianos - true pieces of art!
