A vertical piano is a piano whose strings
are stretched vertically, perpendicular to the floor.
Vertical pianos come in three basic sizes, Professional Studio, Studio and Console.
|
* 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.
|
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.
