Cristofori V465 Studio Upright Piano
The Cristofori V465 studio upright is 46 ½” tall and is made for both homes and schools. This model has nearly the same soundboard size and string length of a 48″ professional upright, but at a slightly lower price point.
The V465 model is designed for those on a budget that still desire the sound of a tall upright piano. It is positioned directly between the 45″ and 48″ sizes.
Like its smaller sibling, all the quality features remain, but in a more substantial cabinet. This case design allows for an even larger soundboard and longer strings for a bigger, richer tone.
