pianos
Concert hall centerpieces
Pianos is the plural of piano, the large keyboard instrument with hammered strings.
The word covers the full range—grand pianos, upright pianos, electric pianos: The music school has six pianos.
Piano also serves as a musical direction meaning soft or quietly, from the Italian, but that sense rarely takes a plural.
