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

It was a necessary evil.

and it was hillarious. lol. beautiful instruments.

Hotel Coworker: Yeah... but he's really good at it.

At least they’re getting used!!😂😂😂

Song?????

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

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.

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.

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

​​@@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🎹🎶

OLED + Gimmick + "Signature" in a nutshell Wait till you learn about MicroLED that are currently "Available"

I immediately googled it 😂

Agree. The “guts” are basically the same. That said, to me size matters and nothing smaller compares to the sound and action response of a concert grand in any brand.

@@elcidcampeador7400 exactlly🎹🎶

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.

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.

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.

It's the "faults" that give them their unique character. Perfect is all the same.

Agreed🎹🤠👍🏼

мне показалось, что более старые фортепьяно в деревянном дизайне звучали лучше, в последних моделях с дизайнерскими наворотами звуки были дребезгом или мой телефон так воспроизводит

​@@pavelcrocus574😂 - Ваш Паваротти - картавый и в ноты не пропадет. - С чего ты взял? - Да мне Мойша вчера по телефону напел. Ну, ты нашел, как слушать различия в звучании разных пианин. Ты хотя бы средние наушники одел, что ли...

For me, a dumb illiterate listener, it sounds confusing sometimes, as if jerry was running from tom over it.

@@LeoVS44 Yep, agreed. The use of classical music in Tom & Jerry cartoons was a very clever move from Hanna-Barbera in those days.

cringe

Knew it was Chopin Just didn't know the tune. He like all the other composers has a very distinct style. My grand parents lived on Chopin St in Detroit. They pronounced it Cho-pin. I assume that is the traditional way to pronounce his name in Polish.

@@skildude And in French as well!! 👍

Can you hear the difference?

@@Lord_Vinheteiro NO I'M DEAF PLEASE SEND HELP

@@kellymccarthy7109 Beeethoven was deaf too. And he could hear everything!

Took a month to travel the world to play all those pianos, respect

​​@@Lord_Vinheteiro pretty sure Beethoven had better tone perception about the music playing inside his head, then most of us would have while looking at an EQ Spectrum

jajaja

Yes it was really "warm" sounding, I liked it too.

I called it the best as well. The tone is so rich and warm. A lovely piano. The runner up for me was the Barthol and Berlin.

Ok I think he got the labels mixed up because the Hoffmann T161 is a grand piano. The upright piano you are liking is a C Bechstein Concert8🎹🎶

That one actually had the most pleasing sound to my ears

@@Dwendele the Hoffmann T161 is the grand piano that came before the upright. The upright before the first Fazioli is the Bechstein Concert8🎹🎶

yeah man, I liked the first two the best myself. They actually had a vintage sound, and not because they were out of tune. They were just interesting sounding...had an old sound.

О времена...

They make think of a western saloon piano.

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. I also prefer the 50$ and 700$ ones! They sound like the pianos our great aunts and grandma's had. A nostalgic sound that carries something beyond what an expensive modern one can render. I also noticed that these two aforementioned were upright pianos, since I don't know much about the subject,.maybe that's why they sound different?

New York Steinways already abandoned the use of teflon in their actions from what I know🎹🎶

My piano is the value of a pizza slice

@@cdevidal I have many with the value of a pizza slice.

​@@Lord_Vinheteiro can i buy one?

@@Lord_Vinheteiro What do you think of "Fritz Dobbert" piano

@@Lampshade8712 for this conversation i whould pay my part of pizza for you.

да абсолютно идиотский тест звучания, окружение разное везде. В идеале их нужно тестировать в абсолютно идентичных условиях. Да и люди смотря это в ютубе, с ограничениями качества платформы не могут оценить адекватно

там ещё разные инструменты пианино и рояль по этому звук разный но они похожи

Мне не понравилось выбранное произведение. Раздражает

Such a waste to see expensive pianos in random places, its like a supercar that was only ever riden to go in a trailer, to sit in some collector's basement.

Me too

Really? Ugh.

I think the last one is "4ha" or 4 hectares

While I enjoy looking at a gold ring, or a nicely made gold bracelet, I wasn’t real fond of the 24K gold piano. My favorite was the beautifully crafted California Walnut piano. Thank you for listing all of these amazing pianos and the details to go with them.

You had me at Jeep Grand Cherokee L😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🎹🎶

I'd get a grand piano over a grand cherokee l anyday🎹🎶

The smart TV and the whine were silly. Who wants to have that?

Nothing beats the Steinway model D, all these pianos shown keep going up in price based on its design. They all sound awful

My father is a piano tuner and he swears by the Steinway D.

Yup@@kaseywahl

"That's a priceless Steinway." - Mrs. Leverlilly "Not any more." - Inspector Clouseau

Classic!!!!! @@excavatoree

And all from Fazioli, which is actually an Italian brand!

Yeah it's really great I wouldn't even touch it when I see the price 😅

Truly and utterly Grand!!! Love them all from the haunted to the priciest! 😄

Thank you! I loved the city!

Immer wieder gerne!

Do you know that God has created a way for you to receive mercy and experience freedom in Jesus? And its love for you - so that you have eternal life and forgiveness in Jesus! God, to fellowship with you, gave His Son as an atoning sacrifice. Jesus has paid for you to save you from eternal condemnation because of sin. But this only applies for those who are willing to repent and accept the Lord Jesus in their lives! Repent I beg you, and desire Christ above all else! Love him and follow him to the end, not you you will regret it Would you totally give your life to Jesus Christ and accept him as your personal Lord and Savior?

Absolutely not.

It was all in Vancouver bro lmao

Thank you!

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

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

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

That would be because digital pianos use samples recorded from high end acoustic pianos.

He got the labels for the Hoffmann T161 and Bechstein Concert8 mixed up🎹🎶

I've been wondering who moved my continent! Now I know you and your piano are responsible. 😉

@@conwaytwt I see what you did there. Nice

No Brasil infelizmente ninguém gosta de música clássica.

Néh não!! Mas é difícil trazer uma boa cultura musical para país deplorável.

"Primo", não me leve a mal, mas permita-me uma dica sobre uma coisa que não faz a menor diferença para os brasileiros, mas para os americanos é gravíssima: quando for escrever algo que americanos vão ler, evite o riso kkkk (mesmo com quatro k, e JAMAIS com três), é muito parecido e pode confundir-se com kkk, da Ku Klux Klan, muito mal vista e causa de escândalo para eles. Eles podem entender errado e pensar que você (e/ou, no caso, o Lorde Vinheteiro) pertence(m) a essa diabólica organização.

​@@Lord_Vinheteiro é porque você não se atreveu a tocar música instrumental brasileira (in loco), aí verás o que é falta de reconhecimento e mérito no Brasil... A música clássica ainda tem muito mais valor no Brasil do que a nosso autêntico choro por exemplo.

Kkkkkk o Lorde faz o caminho contrário

And it’s on youtube too. I believe they manipulate sound quality. The best recordings are made through analog methods. Even the best digital audio recorders won’t ever match analog. And youtube is far from the best.

Yeah, RU-vid is compressing both the video and the sound, which means a lot of quality is lost between the playing, the recording media and then uploading it.

@@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.

@@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.

@@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.

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

​@@kosmosycheyes, it was harsh to my ears too.

@@kosmosyche TOTALLY agree!

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...

@@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.

...to watch.

Poetry seeps from your hand❤

Fazioli pianos are a complete waste of money ... No difference in sound between a 150K Steinway (Steinway actually sounds better) and this overpriced crap from Fazioli; the rest is just fluff and pointless aesthetics.

Well, uniqueness and quality don't always go hand in hand

The Fazioli ones don't offer any "musical experience" if you don't see them. They're just ostentatious tools...

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

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

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

I had more work editing than recording.

@@Lord_Vinheteiro i believe, but traveling to alot of different places just to play pianos thats impressive !

At times, I think you can tell the difference based on type, not price. But, it feels very subtle.

Lord Vinheteiro is the best 🇧🇷

Obrigado por me considerar o melhor instrumentista do BRasil! Tiro a foto sim! Adoro fotos! Abraços do Mestre das Champolas!

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

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

Valeu meu jovem!

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🎹🎶

Viva o mestre das champolas!
