Upright Pianos

New Upright Pianos

An upright piano is a vertical piano that is popular in homes due to its compact design. Although the width of upright pianos (keyboard length) remains the same, they can range in height from anywhere between 108cm and 132cm. The taller the piano, the longer the strings and hence taller pianos exhibit greater sound projection, depth of tone and provide greater expression capabilities.

New upright pianos generally have three pedals. The right pedal is called the Sustain or
Damper Pedal. This sustains, or lengthens the note. In small to medium sized upright pianos the middle pedal is called a Muffler or Practice Pedal. Pressing this pedal causes a piece of felt to drop and muffle the sound of the strings making it ideal for practising students. In taller, more professional level upright pianos the middle pedal is usually a Sostenuto Pedal. This means that the pianist can sustain notes in one hand, while playing notes in the other as long as the pedal is held. The third pedal on the left is the Soft Pedal or Una Corda which, in an upright piano, moves the action forward and limits the distance that the hammers travel.
