Piano Sizes
We have all heard pianos referred to as a “Spinet”, “Upright”, “Studio”, “Concert Grand”, or “Baby Grand” – but most folks outside of the music or piano world truly understand what those designations mean.
While there may be a number of variables, at its most basic level, those titles refer to the size of that particular piano.
Upright Piano Sizes
Sizes and Types – The standard width of an upright piano is about 5′ and the depth is between 2 – 2½’. The height of a vertical piano is measured from the floor to the top of the piano. There are four types of vertical pianos, based on piano height: Spinet, Console, Studio, and Upright. The size is measured from the floor to the top of the lid.
Grand Sizes
The standard width of a grand piano is about 5’. The length, however, varies from 4 ½ to 91/2
feet.
Grand pianos are measured by the length from the very front of the keyboard to
the farthest end of the piano along the spine with the lid closed.
