WHAT KIND OF PIANO DO I NEED?
Ever since the first piano was built, manufacturers have been trying to figure out a way to make them smaller. This has not been easy, because getting a good tone in a piano requires certain things. The length of the strings inside the body of the piano is one of the major aspects that affect size. Over time, upright pianos have become popular, yet grand style pianos remain the most popular. This rule of thumb generally applies: The larger the piano, the better the sound.
When buying a piano, one must consider size. Where exactly are you going to put it? Keep in mind, outside walls and windows are not good places for pianos for many reaons. Temperature fluctuations and sun can dry out and cause a need for more maintenance on your piano. Do you have an enire room dedicated to a piano? If so, a grand piano would be a good purchase. If you have a wall in a room or study, you might consider an upright.
