  • the last piano is smaller so it should sounds worse, as a steinway model b will sound different to model o.

    i am not sure that difference is the difference caused by pitch though.

  • I agree, but the difference is still very obvious. The Young tuned piano is more resonant and louder. The music is more 3-dimensional too.

  • The tunings would be more obvious if the piece played contained more accidentals (4 sharps or flats) but still, with this piece in g minor there are subtle differences.

  • I guess I just have no ear. Damn if I can tell the difference.

  • this answered a lot of questions for me, thank you
