Console Pianos
(Click on a thumbnail below to view the image larger and for more information)

The console is the most popular of the upright pianos. The action of a console piano sits directly on top of the keys. When the hammer strikes the string and the key is released, a spring pulls the hammer back to its original position. The console’s direct hit action provides a more balanced and even feel to the keys and a quicker repetition of notes. And the console's longer strings and larger soundboard produce a better tone, although it does not match the studio, upright or grand. Consoles are available in almost every style of furniture and with a variety of attractive designs and finishes.
