The 4 Most Common Piano Types You Can Buy
A lot of careful planning and consideration goes into piano picking. There are various kinds available in the market that are designed to suit the needs and preferences of every pianist. To help you choose which one you’ll get, here are four piano types available on sale in Singapore:
Grand Piano
Grand pianos are the bulkiest and most expensive kinds you will find in music galleries. They come in varying sizes starting from the four-foot petite grand to the eight-foot concert grand. The grand piano carries the most costly price tag in Singapore because of its lengthy strings and massive soundboards. However, they make up for their value by producing fuller sounds and sustaining longer notes.
Upright Piano
Vertical or upright pianos got their name from the way they were built. Their strings, soundboards, and dampers all run vertically. The upright piano you see on sale in Singapore galleries is perfect for limited spaces in houses, apartments, rehearsal rooms, and music schools. They do not produce rounder and louder sounds than grand ones, but the upright piano offers an economical price in comparison to the latter.
Digital Piano
Digital pianos, also known as electric pianos or synthesizers, mimic the sounds emitted by traditional pianos without hitting or vibrating strings. They produce notes by playing a recording of an acoustic piano when the player presses a key. The digital piano also comes at different price points in Singapore, depending on the voices, effects, and other features it offers.
Player Piano
The player piano mechanically plays music through a piano roll or a digital control box. The pianist records pieces in a punch-hole music sheet or a computer disc and feeds them into the instrument. This type of piano is rarely on sale in Singapore. However, there are some music galleries and studios that offer a few models at a steep price.
