The Cristofori V450 studio piano is a 45″ upright with a full sound in a small cabinet. It makes for a great starter piano at an entry level price point. Featuring longer strings and bigger soundboard than the short console/spinet pianos of the past, this model also has a slightly raked-back case that gives it a sleeker look and style.
The V450 is manufactured with high quality materials like Siberian White Spruce (soundboard), Hard Rock Maple and German Hornbeam (action parts), and German Roslau piano wire (strings).
All hardware is solid brass, including pedals, hinges, and casters. The fit and finish of case parts is perfect due to precision CNC machinery used throughout the manufacturing process.
