Main Types of Piano

Grand

The strings extend horizontally away from the keyboard, which are strucked from beneath and return to the state of rest using gravity. Usualy they are 7 to 10 feet long for the concert grand, 6 to 7 feet for the parlour grand or boudoir grand and 5 feet for the smaller baby grand.

Upright(vertical)

Because the strings and frame are vertical, they are considerably more compact, hammering the strings on a horizontally movement. The string return to the state of rest via string, which may have some sound degradation in the end.

Construction

It was only in 1860 that all major changes in consturction and design were stabilized to a final form. Its was only then that composers and pianists were able to fufill the need for a more powerfull, sustained piano sound.

All of this was possible after the industrial revolution, when became possible to have high quality piano strings and precision castings for the production of iron frames.
