Frequently Asked Questions about Steinway & Sons Upright Pianos

IS A STEINWAY & SONS UPRIGHT PIANO SUITABLE FOR A CONSERVATORY?

Yes. Steinway & Sons upright pianos are an excellent choice for a conservatory thanks to their precision, rich sound, and reliability for heavy use. Their high-quality action allows for the development of technique with maximum control, while their responsiveness and tonal depth make them ideal instruments for a demanding educational environment.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN UPRIGHT PIANO AND A GRAND PIANO?

The grand piano offers greater sound projection and a horizontal action that allows for an even faster and more precise response. However, a Steinway & Sons upright piano can provide an exceptional acoustic experience in a more compact format.
Thanks to their design and handcrafted construction, Steinway upright pianos achieve great tonal richness, dynamic control, and touch sensitivity, remarkably approaching the feel of a grand piano while better adapting to home or educational spaces.

IS IT BETTER TO BUY A NEW OR USED STEINWAY & SONS UPRIGHT PIANO?

It depends on the budget and the opportunity. A used upright piano from Steinway & Sons can be an excellent choice if it has been inspected, regulated, and guaranteed by professionals, maintaining the brand’s quality standards.
On the other hand, a new piano offers the assurance of an unused instrument with all its original features. In either case, the most important thing is to have expert advice to ensure a sound investment.

DOES A STEINWAY & SONS UPRIGHT PIANO REQUIRE MAINTENANCE?
