Understanding the Different Types of Pianos
If you’re thinking about getting your own instrument, here’s a quick breakdown of the main types of pianos and keyboards to help you make the right choice.

Upright Pianos

Grand Pianos

Digital Pianos
Upright pianos are traditional acoustic pianos with a rich, resonant tone. They require more space and regular tuning, but they offer a more organic playing experience.
Grand pianos are concert-style pianos known for their superior sound quality and professional touch. While they require significant space and investment, they are ideal for high-level players or performance spaces.
Digital pianos are a popular choice for students of all levels. They replicate the feel and sound of an acoustic piano while offering features like volume control, headphone jacks, and built-in rhythms or metronomes.
