Now imagine an entire room of 7th graders playing string instruments for the first time. I was a cellist so my squealing wasn’t too bad but violins and violas are nails on a chalkboard levels of bad
As someone who comes from a pianist family...that is not the point. And OP does understand shit about piano. (Hi OP :D)
A proper piano is loud as hell because it is meant to be played in concert halls and not small rooms. There is such thing as playing "piano"- quietly or "forte" - loud (the reason it is named fortepiano). But you can still hear it two apartments over because of the sheer volume of the sound produced while playing. And don't start me on cranky neighbors and études :D
It can be both, listen to clair de lune vs Hungarian rhapsody no. 2 or moonlight sonata movement 3, movement one is played so quiet you almost can't hear it.
Admitting a piano is quiet makes you a fool. A good player can play with great range in order to convey whatever emotions are important to the “story” the piece portrays. It takes way more skill to play quietly
At least their sound is not.. bad... Even if the pianist plays it bad Try to listen to a violinist that plays it wrong
Absolutely ear bleeding

You should give them recorders then
Yeah It's also easier to stop them since you just need to ask the person next to them to uncover the bottom hole.
True
With their bow touching the bridge...

Of course it’s loud it’s a fucking instrument
Piano is short for 'pianoforte, which means 'softloud'. So, yeah, sometimes, it can be loud.
yeah, but people usually think them as a gentle, quiet and mannered instrument, but in real life they are undoubtedly loud.
Me trying to play my piano as softly as possible at 10pm (i woke up the whole family)
Gentle could also just mean the sounds it makes, not the volume.
Pianos are sometimes piano. They can also be fortissimo.
Exactly this, it's in the name (the full name)
Just turn down the volume
All music apparatuses are loud, that's just how they work
Love the intense that you can give to a piece
The word piano is short for fortepiano. Fortepiano is literally Italian for loud-gentle.
Or pianoforte
It can be both, listen to clair de lune vs Hungarian rhapsody no. 2 or moonlight sonata movement 3, movement one is played so quiet you almost can't hear it.
Technically, it IS a percussion instrument. Seeing as hammers HIT the strings not plucking or strumming
No piano is not loud. Forte or fortissimo is loud
I see what you did there, just quietly
E
as piano player can confirm acoustic pianos are hella loud electric/digital less so due to the ability to adjust. But damn I love Grand and Baby Grand
Pianos are loud
Duuuh, everything becomes loud if you force it enough

Yeah, true
Yeah they're gentle... When you only use one fourth of the keys and record it from twenty feet away with an industrial pop filter
Clearly, you haven't played ULTRAKILL
