The Difference between cheap & expensive Pianos

Yes.

 

With the exception of the last one. The more expensive the piano the softer the notes would strike the ear drum. If you pay close attention you can feel it. The last one sounds in between the 3rd last and second last in terms of ferocity.

 

Personally I prefer the sound of the Yamaha C7-X. Best balance of depth, clarity of notes, and felt the best on my ears.

That's why I love the cheap one. The abrupt cut offs, the "saloon" like sound quality didn't take away any colour. There was a wilderness to it. I like my grits as much as my gravy.

 

Also, I think there was a bit of genre bias here.  Debussy for instance is pure ether and most concerto pieces played on high-end pianos would be closer to its nature with warmer resonance and articulation. I bet if he played an old Tom Waits song on the "saloon- like" piano the sonic appeal would burst.

to me the more expensive ones produces notes that lasted much longer, and overall produced a softer sound. the cheaper ones made the same tone, but it seemed to come all at once making it less melodic.
