How does an acoustic piano differ from a digital one?

An acoustic piano produces sound with real strings and hammers — a living, natural tone and an authentic touch, but it needs tuning and space and has no headphones. A digital piano is electronic: it needs no tuning, lets you play with headphones, is lighter and cheaper, but the sound is from samples. For a real acoustic sound choose an upright; for an apartment and quiet practice a digital one is more convenient.

Which piano height is better?

A taller model has longer strings and a larger soundboard, so it usually gives a richer, deeper sound. Compact pianos of 108–115 cm suit home and beginners; models of 118–125 cm and above suit serious study, music schools and the stage. Choose by playing level, room acoustics and budget — we'll suggest the best option.

What conditions does an acoustic piano need?

An acoustic piano needs stable humidity and temperature, so it's placed away from radiators, air conditioners, direct sunlight and draughts. Keeping humidity around 45–60% is advisable. Maintaining the conditions preserves the tuning, soundboard and action. We'll advise on placement and care for the instrument.

Acoustic pianos

Q: How does an upright piano differ from a grand?

An upright piano is an acoustic instrument with a vertical cabinet and vertically arranged strings; it is compact and suits home, schools and classrooms. A grand piano has a horizontal cabinet, longer strings and a more refined action, gives a more powerful and expressive sound, but needs much more space and costs more. For home and learning an upright is usually chosen; for the stage and large halls, a grand.

Q: Does a piano need tuning?

Yes — an acoustic piano should be tuned about 1–2 times a year, and a new instrument more often after delivery and acclimatising to the room. Tuning keeps the correct pitch and extends the instrument's life. We help with delivery and can recommend a tuner. It's a normal part of caring for an acoustic instrument.

Q: How many keys does a piano have?

A standard acoustic piano has 88 keys — the full piano range, like a grand. That's enough for any repertoire and full learning. All the models shown have 88 weighted hammer-action keys with the real action of an acoustic instrument.

Acoustic upright pianos with a real string sound and hammer action

Pianos are acoustic keyboard instruments with a vertical cabinet, strings, a soundboard and a hammer action that give a living, natural sound and an authentic piano touch that electronics cannot fully reproduce. They are the classic choice for learning, music schools and home: 88 weighted keys, the full range and the character of a real instrument that lasts for decades. At SoundsGood — a wide choice of brands: Japanese Yamaha and Kawai, Czech Petrof, German-designed Wilh. Steinberg and W. Hoffmann, plus Hailun, Ritmüller and Pearl River with an optimal price-to-quality ratio.
