The strings could be old warped, frayed, stretched, etc. One could purposely change the tuning of all the strings to achieve a desired alteration. The piano could be amplified with microphone(s) and distored with the amplifier.

How can you make an upright piano sound exactly like a grand piano?

In the grand piano, the soundboard is placed horizontally facing up, and thus you get a feel that the sound rises up and surrounds you, filling the whole room. Additionally, because grand pianos are generally larger (longer strings and bigger soundboard) than uprights, the sound volume is bigger. The soundboard is placed vertically. Because in the upright piano, sound comes out at the back and the back of upright piano is almost always placed against the wall, sound go into the wall and bounce off to you, so you get the feel that the sound comes straight to you making subtle control of musical expression more difficult. Some high quality tall upright pianos may have a bigger sound volume and better quality sound than extremely small lower priced baby grand pianos.

The harpsicord is the father of the piano (forte). It is a percution instrument, because you hit the keys, but the sound wave comming out has the quality of a string instrument, which is very important for the harmonics of the harpsicord. Generaly, anything you can do on a piano, you can do on a harpsicord as well.
