By: John Anne

Stage Pianos

You can consider these models if you are a serious Piano learner with a tight budget. It may or may not come with built-in speakers. These are even used by a lot of gigging pianists, as they tend to be considerably lightweight.

Grand Pianos

It is a horizontal piano, standing on three or six legs, is called a grand, which also could be straight strung or over strung. Again, the over strung construction is preferred. The action of a grand is located behind the keys, and it can be seen partially through the strings but beneath the music desk. Without removing the action it is difficult to identify which of the several different types of action is present. Unqualified persons should never attempt to remove a grand action; there is considerable danger of causing damage.
