Cabinet Grand? Upright Grand?...What's the deal?
Pianos come in two basic styles: Upright (vertical), and Grand (horizontal). Some older vertical pianos bear the label "Upright Grand" or "Cabinet Grand" or even "Boudoir Grand". All of these misleading labels are basically sales hype from days gone by. The basic upright piano has all of the same features as these "Grands". However, although it has nothing to do with true grand pianos, instruments with this label were usually the manufacturer's deluxe, larger model.
