How large is this piano?
All upright pianos have virtually identical Width and Depth. Height is the only dimension that varies dramatically from one upright piano to the next.
Please note: These dimensions are estimates only. Due to cosmetic differences in cabinet trim, exact dimensions of any specific example of this model may vary.
Why is Height important? Taller pianos allow for longer strings and greater soundboard surface area, so they usually produce more sound than shorter pianos.
