Vertical Pianos |
|
A vertical piano is a piano whose strings are stretched vertically,
perpendicular to the floor.
Vertical pianos come in four basic sizes. |
* Professional Studio (or
Concert Vertical) (49" to 52" in height)
 |
The Professional Studio is the tallest
vertical piano, with a soundboard and string length comparable to that of a medium
grand. It is second only to the grand pianos in tone quality. The classic
elegance of the traditional cabinetry found in ebony or the natural wood finishes makes
this the finest choice available in a vertical piano today. |
* Studio (44" to 48"
in height)
 |
The soundboard and string lengths of the
Studio piano produce a resonant tone and volume comparable to a small grand. A very
durable instrument, this model is popular with many piano teachers, and found in numerous
academic and religious institutions. This size is now the most popular choice for
home use as well. The timeless cabinetry makes this instrument the best investment of the
vertical pianos. |
* Console ( 40" to 43" in
height)
 |
Console pianos are slightly shorter than the
Studio piano. They typically offer a larger selection of art cases and wood finishes than
Studio pianos. |
* Spinet ( 36" to 39"
in height)
 |
While all vertical pianos are just under 5'
wide, the Spinet is the smallest of the vertical pianos due to its height. Originally
designed to fit under a window sill, it adds charm to any room. |
Furniture Styles
Decorator styling or period
furniture is very popular on the vertical models. There is a variety of cabinetry
fashions from which to choose, ranging from the simple design and finish of the
"professional" or "institutional" style to the fancy, curved legs and
carved music desks that offer a European look. A diverse selection of wood finishes
includes polished ebony, satin ebony, cherry, mahogany, oak and walnut.
We offer all these types of vertical pianos
among our various product lines.
