Playing the Piano : Piano Pedals Explained
Upright Piano Vs. Grand Pianos
Grand pianos are usually far better than upright pianos. Nevertheless, there are 2 factors to contemplate an upright piano:
Minimal area
Minimal price range
Even though an upright piano may possibly be considered due to the fact of area restrictions, simply because of its design, a baby grand might be less complicated to location. The back of an upright piano is ugly. This is why it is practically always placed on a wall. So you require about 5-feet of wall space to accommodate an upright piano (even a short 1).
However, a baby grand pianolooks great nonetheless you location it. The flexibility permits for placement in a corner or even the middle of a space. So in some instances exactly where space is at a premium, a baby grand might be less complicated to place than an upright piano.
It is true that you will have to invest far more cash to get a baby grand piano compared to an upright. Nevertheless, there are various distinct benefit in regards to sound and touch:
The sound of an upright comes out the back. As a result the sound goes into the wall. A baby grand or grand piano opens up into the room projecting the sound exactly where you want it.
The keys of an upright are shorter than a baby grand (and a lot shorter than a grand piano. Not the component you see, but behind the fall board. As a result, it is tougher to press black keys and between black keys on an upright than on a baby grand. Just like being near the center of a see saw, it is hard to get leverage on an upright piano simply because the shorter keys don't allow for the leverage you get on a grand piano.
The hammers travel sideways on an upright motion rather of up and down as in a grand motion. So even the very best uprights have sluggish actions due to the fact they don't have the benefit of gravity helping the repetition of the hammers.
Very last, the pedals on an upright don't do what they are supposed to do (except the sustain pedal on the proper). The soft pedal (une corde) on a grand piano shifts the action so that the hammers hit only 2 strings rather of 3. This gives a alter of tonal color which is 1 of the most magnificent expressive devices of a piano. In an upright, the soft pedal changes the touch by making the hammers closer to the strings which makes it tougher to play loud but doesn't alter the tone at all. Also the center pedal (sustento) rarely gives the proper function on an upright.
So if you can afford it, get a grand piano or a baby grand. You will appreciate the difference. If your serious about learning and playing the piano, you should definitely consider purchasing a grand. They also make more attractive furniture.

Is the sustain pedal necessary for blues piano?
I mean I realize a little sustain probably doesn't hurt anything but I'm using a cheap keyboard that doesn't have such a pedal. Instead I've really tried to get the legato technique down. I guess I'm just wondering if you need to use the sustain pedal for the optimal blues sound and if it's worth it to get a keyboard with pedals.
I'm a guitar player,so take my answer as such.I don't think a piano player needs a sustain pedal to play blues.Like any of the instruments played by the great blues artists,it is more about feeling and emotion than it is technical perfection.When I think about the great blues pianists like Otis Spann and Pinetop Perkins - even Johnnie Johnson - none of them really would have use for any additional sustain generated by a pedal.Listen to some blues piano players and try to hear where a sustain pedal would be needed.
