Steinway & Sons grand — a grand from the house of Steinway & Sons, in black.
For a living room that can carry a grand, for the teaching studio and for a hall. Steinway & Sons builds in Hamburg and in New York, and the name stands on concert platforms often enough that many pianists have formed their idea of grand-piano sound on it.
A grand differs from an upright in more than size. The strings lie horizontally and run longer, so the bass gets a foundation no upright instrument can give it. The action falls back with gravity and therefore repeats faster: quick repeated notes and trills come more easily. The right pedal lifts the dampers and lets the sound stand; on a grand the left pedal shifts the whole action sideways, so that the hammer meets fewer strings (una corda).
In placing it, what counts most is where the lid opens: into the room, not against the wall. Count in the space for the stool and the player as well as the footprint, and think of the door it has to come through — carrying it is work for movers, who take the legs off in any case. Not by the radiator and not in the sun: swings in humidity put any acoustic instrument out of tune. If you play in the evening and have neighbours behind the wall: an acoustic grand will take a Silent System, and you then play through headphones on the same keys.
