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.
An elegant upright piano.
This Boston UP-118E 46'' upright piano, built in 1997, is an elegant home instrument. It's a great opportunity enjoy the benefits of Steinway's world-class piano design for a fraction of the cost of a comparable new piano. Lovely polished ebony cabinet.
Beautiful American tone.
Boston pianos are designed by Steinway & Sons and built in Japan by Kawai. They combine some of the most positive elements of both makers: Consistency and affordability of a Japanese piano and the warmth, depth of tone, and action responsiveness of a Steinway. It's a great combination that produces a very enjoyable instrument to play.
About the Boston UP-118E (from the manufacturer)
Boston uprights offer the same standards of excellence which characterize all instruments designed by Steinway & Sons. A Boston upright will give you the same opportunities to express your musical skill as a grand.
In comparison to other pianos, the Boston has less string tension. This reduced string tension allows for a larger, tapered soundboard, creating longer sustain, and more singing quality in the tone (as well as longer piano life). A wealth of other engineering enhancements, including optimal placement of ribs, braces, and bridges, also contribute to the Boston’s superior tone and greater stability.
Each Boston piano soundboard is crafted of Sitka spruce, long proven to be the most resonant material available. Boston soundboards are also precisely tapered, which allows them to vibrate more freely. In conjunction with a number of special technologies — unique patents of Steinway & Sons — the result is a powerful, sustained tone.
