Upright Piano
There are basically 4 types of Vertical (upright) pianos, as well as player pianos. Measure your piano from the floor to the top, and click the matching size. Spinet and Console pianos are very similar. Click here to understand the difference.

You need to know the brand name of the piano. If it is not on the fallboard above the keys, open the lid and look on the top left hand corner of the metal plate. It is usually found there.

You also need to determine the pianos age. This is done by the serial number and name brand. The serial # is usually found on plate of the piano between the bass and tenor strings. It can also be found on the top of the piano when you open the lid. You are looking for a number like the ones below.
