That depends how close you measure the piano. The closer - the louder! The distance is very important if you measure with a sound pressure level meter. And it depends how hard a pianist can attack the keys.

A piano at 1 m distance at the ear of the pianist can have a sound pressure level of L = 100 dBSPL.

Never forget to tell the distance of the measuring microphone from the sound source, because the closer you are the louder it is.

The sound pressure level decreases by 6 dB per doubling of distance from the source to 1/2 (50 %) of the sound pressure initial value.

The sound pressure decreases inversely as the distance increases with 1/r from the sound source.

A piano can produce more than 150 decibels if you play it but if you drop it off a crane, it will make more than twice as much!

The piano's dynamic cange is very wide. It extends from very soft to thunderously loud - loud enough to balance a full symphony orchestra.

How would say the piano and electric piano are alike?

Electric pianos (aka digital pianos) are instruments that reproduce the sound made by acoustic pianos. Pianos produce their unique sound by the action of a felted hammers hitting strings of various lengths. Digital pianos replicate this sound with oscillators and speakers. Electric pianos and acoustic pianos are alike in that they have the same keyboard of 88 black and white keys, they produce a similar sound (though not identical), and they can be played in the same manner, especially if the digital piano has weighted keys and a damper pedal.
