Standard Upright Piano Dimensions

Vertical pianos, also known as upright pianos are the most popular model for in-home piano purchase. Vertical pianos are generally less expensive and more compact than grand pianos or baby grands. The upright piano dimensions make it the perfect choice for schools, churches, university music programs, community centers, music conservatories and private homes.

What is an Upright Piano?

A vertical piano features a different frame and strings compared to a grand or baby grand piano. The piano’s internal hardware runs vertically, perpendicular to the keyboard – allowing it to take up less space. Robert Wornum invented the mechanical action structure of the vertical piano back in 1826 in London, and it quickly gained popularity as the upright piano dimensions allowed the placement of these musical instruments in homes and pubs, whereas grand pianos were only available in ballrooms.

What is the difference between an upright and grand piano?

The grand piano has the same shape as the pianoforte, one of the early types of pianos. The strings are strung horizontally, allowing it for a greater richness of sound. In a vertical piano on the other hand, the strings are strung vertically. The hammers themselves move horizontally and return to their original position with the use of springs.

How long does it take to tune an upright piano?

modernpianoboston.com - How Long Does It Take To Tune A Piano?

A qualified technician can tune a piano in less than 1.5 hours. An appointment to tune your piano is expected to be around 2 hours to allow for unforseen repairs or adjustments and a little banter with you, the piano owner. Pianos that are very flat or very sharp need what we call a pitch correction. A tuner brings the pitch of the piano up to A440, measured at the A above middle C, in a quick pass to apply the correct bearing on the soundboard. Next they will fine tune the piano. This still may only take 1.5 hours, but can take as much as 2 hours. Unlike a guitar with 6 strings, or a violin with 4, a piano has over 230 strings! Tuning is a skilled art, and requires an extreme amount of concentration. Don't be surprised if your piano tuner takes less than an hour to tune your piano. An upright piano at pitch often takes me less than an hour, but this is not the standard. If you haven't had the piano tuned in more than a year and your tuner only takes 15-20 minutes, then I would be concerned they weren't completing the job correctly.
