Generally speaking regarding instruments, a grand piano is more of a special order. It’s the top choice of classical pianists, music legends, and often the focal point of galas, concerts, and events. A grand pianos sound is uncompromised, natural, rich, and deep with harmonic transitions and the ability to project sound around magnificently large spaces. A digital piano doesn’t have its own hammers or strings and its audio is produced through electronic speakers that mimic the audio of acoustic pianos, such as a Yamaha grand. A high end, Yamaha digital piano can produce as good audio, or better, as a lower end acoustic piano and is often the preferred choice for people who have smaller spaces and budgets. With a digital piano, there is the further advantage of little-to-no maintenance - not the case with Grand Pianos.
