Filed under: baby grand pianos
Two 30-second songs on 2 pianos. Watch as they move out the old piano and bring in the new one. Listen to the difference between the two pianos. The old one is a 1940’s Kimball. The new one is a 2005 Pearl River, made by Yamaha.

I’ m afraid your previous piano was better. Pearl River has a rather too much of a crispy sound while Kimball was better balanced with pianissimo.
Having said that new generation pianos require less pedal as they sustain already better and probably the black one requires a final tuning.

what fun. ta for posting this. The Pearl River had a lightly better bass, of course and the overall sound was brighter as yamaha/pearl river are renowned for.
Wood or black? All aesthetics anyway. I’m VERY lucky to have a Kawai 6ft3″ grand that’s black high gloss finish as well as a 9′2″ concert grand Chappell that’s rosewood. I’d go for rosewood or any other over the black. They’re HUGE dust magnets. I keep a duster inside the kawai to save time! LOL

Well you heard it a few times, but honestly, I think the old Kimball sounded better. I think selling a Kimball for that was sort of a step down. Although the Yamaha is new, so its going to not have problems.

New one sounds out of tune and softer. I’m sure it sounds better than the old one now though, because you’ve probably gotten it tuned, and the hammers will have adjusted.
