There are many words of advice on selecting the type of piano: upright, grand, or digital. And a lot of that depends on space and your ultimate goal. If you’re traveling with your piano, or you don’t have a lot of room, a digital makes perfect sense. If you want to use it as a statement piece in your home, nothing but a grand will do.
