A grand piano makes sound by a mechanical system: little hammers hitting strings when the keys are pressed. An electric piano produces sound much the same way, except the sounds are turned into electronic signals by pickups, which makes it able to be amplified or recorded.

∙ 13y agoVery little. The "grand" in grand piano comes from the Italian word "grande" meaning large or big. the only real difference is the size of the piano, and the grand piano is able to play at a higher volume when opened, hence used in many concert halls. Of course on top of this there are social differences. Someone who owns a grand piano are sometimes associated with the wealthy, or upper class citizens. In my opinion, the grand piano looks better, but ranging from 6-9 ft long, the baby grand or petite grand piano is a better choice for leisure in the home.
