UPRIGHT vs. GRAND PIANO

[@michelprimeau4531]

That was a very professional video, the content, the tone, the video shown with the explanation. It was not improvisation. Well prepared and well delivered.

Thank you for taking the time to comment, I really appreciate it! 😊

I think this is video has the biggest discrepancy between quality and views that I've seen on youtube. I would expect something like this to have views in the tens of thousands if not more. Very well made.

I'm grateful for your comment and I hope the video continues to resonate with more people over time. Thank you so much for your kind words! 😄

Very good video. Thank you. Michael Ps. I recently got a regular access (twice a week) to Yamaha C7 at a local church.

Some excellent quality uprights are better than average grands. If you buy a small grand, for example, versus a professional calibre upright, you'll just have a lesser instrument in a fancier cabinet. I've just made this decision comparing a Kawai G-10 with a Kawai K600. The K600 has a far better bass quality. And the Kawai K800 substitutes in recording studios -- upright in place of a grand -- all the time.

A very well produced video packed with top information. Thank you. :)

Succinct and on point. Thank you 👍

Good video, but I will say that my upright does actually have a sostenuto pedal. It's some Lowrey spinet/upright. Learning about my piano is kind of what brought me here, I'm looking for other options as I think I've outgrown this piano.

Thanks for sharing! Best of luck with the piano search!

Yes I seen middle pedals the same for both upright and grand on KZbin. Also there is action help which makes repetitions faster on upright pianos. Also some critics think there is no such thing as a upright concert grand. I had one and when it was tuned it sounded like a concert grand. The piano was much taller than most uprights. Mine had stickers in the action most pianos today left the stickers out of the action because of size. Most player pianos are almost as tall as an upright grand. I don't want to get into an argument but I think older pianos sound much better than new pianos. The aged sound board has that sound you cannot get in a new piano. I will leave the last statement as my opinion. 73

It really isn't common to come across an upright piano with a sostenuto pedal. Most just have a pedal that lowers a bar with some pieces of felt between the hammers, and strings for quiet practicing, and on some older upright pianos there is a midel pedal that only sustains the bass notes that pedal can also be found on some lower model grand pianos🎹🎶

Would you prefer a top *new* german high-end upright piano (let's say at least 122cm) over a middle of the road (maybe used, up to 50 years) grand piano? interesting to hear your opinion

Great video!

[@Jellybellycat]

Right, but the comparison would be more helpful if you use an older used low quality upright like many of us are stuck with. Many of us have wonder if our practice that sounds awful is because we have a low quality piano. So witnessing a pro play a cheaper upright and comparing it to a used grand ($2-4k range) would be quite helpful. It seems these comparisons that I see on YT are between high quality upright and high quality grand. Just isn’t reality for many of us

Thanks for the comment! For reference, the upright is from around the year 2001 and can be found on eBay around £500 second hand. Hope this helps!

Wow, awesome video and you're so gorgeous!
