Drawbacks of Buying Acoustic Pianos
The primary reason for people to opt for a digital piano as opposed to buying an acoustic piano would be the additional costs and efforts associated with maintaining an acoustic.
You will need to get your Piano tuned regularly... at least every six months.
Grand Pianos, on the other hand, may not be a viable option for many because of its cost and the space needed to keep it.
Types Of Acoustic Pianos
Acoustic Pianos come in two types – Grand Pianos and Upright Pianos.
All the Upright Pianos are of the same size but a Grand Piano can come in varying sizes (width) depending on whether you want a Grand or a Baby Grand piano.
A concert Grand will be around 3 meters in width (away from the keyboard).
Since the strings are parallel to the ground, the sound produced travel upwards and spreads throughout the room creating a better sound.
Ideally, a Grand Piano will need a room with higher ceilings for better resonance. That’s the reason you will find most Grand Pianos kept in halls and bigger rooms.
Most manufacturers even make smaller Grand pianos, normally referred to as the "baby grand" pianos. These pianos are around 1.5 meters wide and are used for domestic purposes.
Piano lovers who just do not want to settle for anything less, can consider Baby Grand Pianos.
They have been designed to save on space and are comparatively easier to move around.
You need to make sure that you do not keep your upright piano very close to the wall. This will ensure that the sound resonates properly giving a better sound.
Piano lovers, not inclined towards digital pianos, and for whom, cost and space are important considerations, can consider going in for upright pianos.
