I'm not sure as you placed the Yamaha in front of the Steinway so the Yamaha projects somewhat more. They're both fine pianos. So, whichever you choose is fine and may just depend on action, responsiveness, tone control, pedal feel, etc.
I am a Steinway fan boy, whenever I hear comparisons, it is Steinway Yamaha makes a great piano as well as electric pianos. Someone mentioned Fazioli which are great pianos but have to much resonance from other strings so does not sound as sharp, almost rumbles for me on the low end, just my opinion, notes are not separated and sharp. Your playing was brilliant, brava
Great playing! I definitely think your playing has more color and dynamic presence in your finger voicing to present with that Steinway, but whatever you choose, your performance will be excellent because you are PREPARED. Nothing matters but what you leave on the stage and in the hall for an actual audience. Good work and keep on going!
For me, the mic-ing of the pianos seems stationary and thus the Yamaha sounds louder and brighter and I think the voicing of the Yamaha needs a bit of work to make this a more fair comparison. Then there is the placement of the two instruments. This placement I find problematic and does not lend itself to fairly comparing the sound of each piano. That is the trouble with these types of comparison videos. Each instrument is a fine example of the craftsmanship of there makers. When listening I turn down the volume when the Yamaha is played and the difference between the two sounds becomes barley distinguishable.
since i'm looking when the pianist switch from CFX to Steinway, the Steinway has more refine sound and more magnificent...i'm not a pianist and using only a digital piano using VSL plugins with Bosendorfer and Steinway....but if blindfolded it'll be hard to distinguish but the sounds are separable
Steinway timbre is the richest one. So there's a lot of different ways to play the same passage. You can change colors. It also has the smoothest attack, the greatest ressonance (that's why it can blurs easily if wrongly played) and power without stridency. All other piano brands lack at least one of these features (with the exception of Mason&Hamelin, maybe)
@@hastensavoir7782 they are extremely rare to find here in Brazil. I really have no idea. Very few times I could touch one of them. I know there's criticism about the carbon fiber action. It feels insanely good to play, but my piano technician claims it removes nuances, the reason why Shigeru Kawai quit using it.
The bass is beautiful on the steinway.

Steinway Model D. Hands down.

Steinway of course, you can hear so much more detail.
Steinway Bass - Yow!
Now try a Fazioli f308.
Of course is Steinway D!

@@LuisKolodinwhat do you think of Mason & Hamlin especially the new VX lines?

@@LuisKolodin did Shigeru Kawai convert to Wood for their actions??
Do you have experience with Fazioli?
@@hastensavoir7782 yes, Shigeru got back to wood. At least half of the action.
Yes, I have experience with Fazioli. Why?
How can the sound be compared if the audio if of so low quality?
Where are your videos so you can “show her how it’s done” ??
My thoughts exactly! The microphone is too far, the room reverb too great, to get an accurate representation of either piano.
steinway
Yamaha sounds like it has had loads of redbull😂
