You should also consider the following factors before choosing your piano.

Grand vs. Upright

It is important to consider the space available at your home when choosing between an upright and grand. It is important to consider your furniture, appliances and space available. Both upright and grand pianos are different in size and will not fit all spaces.

Wood is the most common material for an upright piano. The height of an upright piano ranges from 37 to 53 inches. Generally, the higher the piano the more rich sound it produces. They take up less floorspace because they feature a cabinet-like vertical compartment to hold the strings. It is easy to use an upright because its sides and the back are all flat. Most often, the hammer and strings are placed horizontally. For each note, this type of action creates a nice sound. But for repetitions it’s slower since the hammer hits against gravitational forces.

Sizes of grand pianos vary from baby grands for use by children to concert grands in the theater or orchestra. His style is very stylish. In the same way, as with the action of an upright, the placement of the strings is very different. It is horizontally arranged and the vertical hammer strike follows gravity’s natural direction. This produces a much more predictable and controlled sound, and is therefore preferred by amateur and better players alike because they can produce the kind of sound you want.

Action

As we mentioned before, the action of a piano is vital to the quality and performance it offers. In terms of playing comfort, action refers to both how easy or difficult it is to hit the keys and how fast they return to their resting positions. With a grand, it is easier to play music with repetitive notes because gravity makes the keys more comfortable. Upright pianos produce harder, distinct tones.

Portability

Upright pianos are easier to move than grand-pianos because of their dimensions. As the size of upright and grand pianos differ, they are both more or less portable.

Sound

As for sound, the upright creates a louder, heavier sound. While grands produce lighter, faster and more fluid sounds. They are both created by different mechanisms, the action of each piano and the pressure on the keys.
