Steinway Upright Pianos - The Gold Standard in Upright Piano Design
Steinway Upright Pianos, are known in the industry as "verti-grands". This is because their height, large soundboard and unique back frame design make them surprisingly close to grands in tone and touch.
The model K52 Professional Upright is 52" tall, giving it string length and soundboard size similar to Steinway's 5'10" grand piano. It is manufactured with the same materials, craftsmanship and where feasible the same design as any Steinway grand piano.
This 52" model is the only upright in the world that can truly compete with a larger grand piano in tone and touch. A Steinway patented design feature of the back frame allows the action to respond much more like that of a grand piano than in any other brand upright.
Since shortly after it's founding, Steinway has been considered the world's finest piano, the piano by which all others are judged. 98% of classical concert artists play Steinway exclusively when performing with the great symphony orchestras of the world. Virtually every single major performance venue owns at least one Steinway concert grand, with Steinway being the exclusive brand in most.
Unlike other manufacturers, every Steinway, from the largest concert grand to the smallest upright features the same design (where applicable), materials and craftsmanship. Steinway makes no distinction between uprights and grands, other than size and strung back/action orientation. This is the reason why Steinway is not only for concert halls and music schools, but also for the discriminating buyer for their home.
"I've been playing Steinway pianos exclusively for many years. In my experience, they keep getting better every year, and I have no doubt that the best Steinways ever produced are the ones being built today" says internationally renowned Steinway Artist Lang Lang. Steinway has a history of innovation, giving today's Steinway the best tone and touch ever due to over 125 patents and design innovations.
