upright pianos
Vertical keyboard instruments
Upright pianos are pianos with vertical frames and strings, as opposed to the horizontal arrangement of grand pianos.
The compact design fits against a wall, making uprights the standard choice for homes, schools, and practice rooms.
They range from small spinets to full-sized uprights that approach grand pianos in sound quality.
