YAMAHA EXAMPLE
Most manufacturers make as many as six different "models" of vertical piano, the base model and five variations of size, style and color. Some companies have different model numbers to distinguish the difference, while others may use different names. The following comparisons were made, not between manufacturers but between pianos made by the same company. They may differ in price by as much as twice the "base" model.
Currently, Yamaha offers the following models, which are exactly alike on the inside and the variation is in the cabinet. Look carefully at both models. Musically they are the same.
