The piano is an acoustic, stringed musical instrument, in which the strings are struck by hammers. It is played using a keyboard, which is a row of keys (small levers) that the performer presses down or strikes with the fingers and thumbs of both hands to cause the hammers to strike the strings.
Different Types of Pianos. The piano comes in many different styles, designs, shapes and sizes. Pianos have two basic categories: the vertical and horizontal pianos. They are called vertical pianos because of their height and the position of the strings. The height range of the vertical piano is between 36 - 60 inches. The Upright or Vertical piano is the most common piano due to its affordability, compactness and warm sound.
