But one has to wonder what an upright grand piano > really means. Is it a grand piano that is sitting on its long side ? I agree, it is a silly term, but often it means that the piano design incorporates some grand piano features such as a laminated bent rim, capo bar for treble string terminations, etc. > With four pedals I supose it can seat two.... but then you'd need wheels > to pedal it around.... unless it has propellers to go along with the Wing. The fourth pedal is for the thingeebajingle (the metal buttons on a mute-like rail that drops down between the hammers and strings). SNIP Terry Farrell
