Upright pianos have a distinct tone that is hard to mistake. Is it the size? The shape of the soundboard? We’re not sure, but it’s probably a combination of a whole bunch of features. But one thing is certain, and that’s that nothing evokes that intimate, home piano sound like an upright piano. There’s something comforting about the muffled, boxy sound of a upright that you don’t find in a grand.

Best of Both Worlds

The Ningbo Upright is a brand new piano built by one of the most respected chinese piano manufacturers around. Even the most xenophobic piano snobs can’t deny the fact that these are pretty great pianos. It has a perfect blend of that unmistakable upright character, but with a presence and purity that sounds great on pretty much anything you can throw at it.

Powerful, bright low end and clean percussive high end is something you can only get from new strings and hammers combined with a great design, and this piano delivers exactly that.

Technicalities

The Ningbo Upright piano is a 48″ Hailun H-1P upright built in Ningbo in 2021. As a new piano, it has brand new parts all around, giving it a solid clean tone up all the way from top to bottom. Our technician made sure it was it tip top shape before sampling to make sure it was at the top of its game. It was sampled in a small living room with 5 stereo microphone positions, carefully placed to get the most out of the piano and the room.
