The “better” between a grand piano and an upright piano is subjective, as it often depends on the player’s space, budget, and specific needs. However, here are some comparisons to help you decide:

1. Sound Quality: Grand pianos typically have a better and richer sound quality than upright pianos. The larger soundboard and the ability to use a damper pedal to sustain notes gives them a fuller, more resonant tone.

2. Size and Space: Grand pianos require much more space than upright pianos, as they are larger and need to be placed against a wall, away from any obstructions. Upright pianos take up less space and can be tucked into a corner, against a wall, or in a living room or bedroom.

3. Cost: Grand pianos are generally more expensive than upright pianos. In addition to the initial purchase price, grand pianos often have higher maintenance costs
