The Ever Popular Grand Piano Versus the Upright Piano.The One and Only Grand Piano When asked to imagine a piano one often conjurs up images of the grand piano. The grand piano, in fact, the first piano form. It also has some advantages that cannot be experienced by an upright. These main benefits include the generation of better sound because the soundboard is not placed against a wall, but rather is horizontal with the floor allowing for distance before sound reverberation. In a grand piano the dampers drop due to gravity rather than being hoisted as in an upright which makes the grand piano a more efficient instrument. However, most people simply cannot afford to own a grand piano or don?t have anywhere to move it! If you do have a grand piano and need to move it check out our piano movers page.

The piano is also much more compact, is generally placed against a wall since the back of it is often unfinished and unattractive. With the creation of the upright families were finally able to fit a piano in their homes, which is why the vast majority of acoustic pianos seen in homes today are upright pianos.
