The Charles R. Walter furniture console pianos are actually compared with other professional studio pianos despite its shorter height because they have studio quality actions, long keys and a unique way to string the very long strings. Although their vertical piano only stands 43.75 inches high the Walter piano uses the same length strings as a 5'8"baby grand and has a better sound than most 52" upright pianos. Thus allowing you to have a beautiful furniture case without any sacrifice of quality.
