An upright piano, also known as a vertical piano, is a type of piano that has its strings and soundboard arranged vertically. It is called "upright" because the strings and soundboard are positioned vertically rather than horizontally like in a grand piano. Upright pianos are popular choices for homes, schools, and other spaces where a grand piano might be too large or impractical. The strings in an upright piano are oriented vertically and are attached to the soundboard. When the keys are pressed, hammers strike the strings to produce sound.
