Piano Styles
Upright Pianos
Upright pianos utilize hammers, weighted keys, and a soundboard just like grand pianos. They're designed to fit in a more convenient shape for most living spaces.
Grand Pianos
Grand pianos are the ultimate in sound and playability. Designed to fill a room or concert hall with sound, they require more space but the results are well worth it.
Digital Pianos
Digital pianos feature weighted keys, lifelike sound, and a high quality playing experience. They're space saving and piano teacher approved.
