It is very rare to find a concert pianist playing an upright piano. Date your piano thanks to the serial number, you will find the one if either on the metal frame near the tuning pegs. This is because they are concert pianists and concert pianists only play grand pianos. Big artists such as Elton John and Paul McCartney play grand pianos and they play Yamaha grands mainly. Grand pianos are definitely louder because even in baby grands, the cabinet is larger than on an upright which means longer strings, which means louder sound, which means more resonance. Grand pianos feel different to acoustic because the hammers are hitting the string upwards on a grand piano, but on an upright it is hitting the string horizontally. When talking about the different types of acoustic piano as well, there are 2, upright pianos and grand pianos. You just can’t quite match the resonance, power and action of a real acoustic piano. Even though there are some great digital pianos, there is nothing quite like a real acoustic piano. The thing about acoustic pianos as well is that compared to digital pianos they definitely win in terms of sound and feel.

The general rule with pianos as well is that the bigger the cabinet the louder the sound because the strings are much longer than in pianos with smaller cabinets. All pianos feel different to each other and they all sound different. Some great brands include Kawai, Yamaha and Steinway. They all feel fantastic and sound brilliant.
