Can You Hear the Difference Between Cheap and Expensive Pianos? 

Lime i think it sounds better than alot of the others

Same! I grew up on a 70's standup Baldwin (it even had a roll player in it). Even when tuned, it still has that warm yet somehow soft twangy sound. Its unique and nostalgic. I don't like high end pianos because they sound "muffled" to me. No character IMO.

The first one is out of tune. I have a used console piano that cost $200, I tune it myself and when it has been recently tuned sounds amazing. This video does not show a fair comparison.

I learned on a 50 year old piano that my dad got for free. Played it from when I was 13 and started taking lessons to 16, then my dad got me a used Steinway for $8,000. I cried when I saw it. I left drinks and got water rings on the other piano, never happened with the Steinway lol

@@BT-ex7ko you need to hear it IRL

This made me chuckle

I don’t get it

The sound didn’t change its just the volume make it different

Ragnar Stygian nah

i love the idea that the 1st one has been through a lot but it still tries its best to sound good even all these years later, and i personally prefer how it sounds over all the other ones because of that.

C vrai que le premier piano m’a fait rêver à plus de 400 euros ça va pour un ancien et beau piano😮

It is not the object that makes beautiful muical sounds. It is the person playing it. Along with a well maintained one.

I think the first piani is amazing for amazing pianists too

Yes - reason being that it was not in tune. You were hearing the "chorus" effect of unison strings not perfectly in tune with each other. And in the old west saloons the pianos were certainly out of tune! To test the Baldwin fairly it should have been perfectly in tune, unless that is not possible for some reason.

Exactly what I was thinking

reminds me of Red Dead Redemption

@Csc BandBoosters definitely not that simple, those pianos be stuck in certain tunes

XD :v

Or Jump by Van Halen or Axel F, but its not an electric piano.

My takeaway from this is that I'll never be able to afford a piano.

Morgan Mixer true tho lmao, to an untrained ear or if ur just kinda having fun listening to whatever music u probably will not notice the difference

My takeaway is that it’s so damn huge, and if it would fit it won’t be able to get in my house.

@@zedflores2945 well i have untrained ears, I can hear the difference but I wouldn't say more expensive sounded better, it's just that every piano sounds different and someone likes the sound of cheap, someone the sound of expensive

You certainly reach a point of diminishing returns. The biggest difference was between the two cheap ones, huge improvement for $2K extra. Maybe the same degree of improvement again for another $2.49Million

@@johvanaarriagada431 look in the classifieds. I've seen many being given away because no one wants to move them when they move.

yes, i think the sound is equal to the 2.5 mil

I agree to Steinway D was much more melodic/

I think there wasn't much improvement in sound texture and quality from the D model to "Pictures at a Gallery". All of them have an lovely sound even if the baldwin lacks high frequencies and dynamics plus it's quite detuned. Nevertheless it has an warm, lovely, nostalgic sound. I'd pick a Grand Piano like an Altenburg anytime over a 2500 Gaming rig if I had the Money, space and skills.

Although each of the steinways sounded progressively better

But as beautiful as they are there's no reason that a piano should ever be that expensive.

I guess the real question is, how do they feel to the player. Since the 2nd one and the last one sound about the same, does it feel 1000x better to play?

This happens with most really expensive stuff. 5 dollar to 10 dollar wine? Big difference. 10 to 20? Considerable. 20 to 40? Pretty small. And so on.

You only can compair pianos if they are tuned and intonated by the same person. The Baldwin is just miserably tuned, without saying that it ever will sound like the Altenburg. I like the Altenburg, not this rich as a Bechstein or Steinway, but to pay for this difference 50 times as much or even more ?

@@fmcom.stettler9742 TOTALLY AGREE

@@fmcom.stettler9742 The Baldwin was actually tuned as good as is possible, it wasn't too badly in tune, but pianos as old cheap and used as this is can't be perfectly tuned to begin with. But a lot of what you are thinking is an out of tune piano is tinniness. The piano is shot and no amount of tuning can help it.

The big jump happens between the wood frame and the steel frame. I grew up with a cheap spinet and only played when my mother made me do it. Then a few decades later my mother bought a Steinway and as soon as I touched it, I thought, if I'd had this growing up, I would have played voluntarily and become a pianist! I used to visit just to play the Steinway. In the video, the last piano was the most expensive but I don't think there were any concert grands in the list. The sound quality is not exactly proportional to price.

Same for guitars.

Hahaha. Funny

HOL' UP No dictator would sell land

That was a very, very misleading information (and I'm pretty sure you know that). You can't buy half of Venezuela for that. Not even somewhere close to that amount of land. You could certainly buy a pretty big farm for that value, but the relative value of one currency if compared to the dollar is nothing more than "relative". Considering Venezuela's super devalued currency, you would face three problems: 1. Nobody would sell any property in Venezuelan currency; 2. Converting from dollar to bolivar wouldn't make you have more purchase power or anything (to be honest, you would be left with - literally - tons of useless pieces of paper), unless you want to buy some basic items (like food), whose prices are fixed (but you would have huge problems to find people selling them at a fixed price, let alone selling them in large quantities); 3. The price you would pay would consider the state of the local economy, but you would pretty much pay not too much less than what you would pay for land in other countries in Latin America.
