The only true handmade verticl is Steinway.
All upright type pianos are vertical pianos. All horizontal pianos are grands. The smallest vertical is called a spinet then, console, studio and upright. There is no such thing as an "upright grand." It is just a name placed onto a piano.

A console piano is one type of vertical piano. Console pianos range in height from 40 to 44 inches. This is about the middle of height range of vertical pianos. The spinet piano is the shortest and the professional piano is the tallest.
Amoung the differences are: * Size * Sound * Quality of Parts * Playability * Appearance * Grand vs. Vertical
The plural form for the singular noun piano is pianos.
Pianos can be categorized into three main types based on their size and sound characteristics: **Grand Pianos**: Grand pianos are the largest and most prestigious type of piano. They are known for their exceptional sound quality and are often used in concert halls and by professional pianists. Grand pianos have a horizontal soundboard and strings, which allow for a more complex and resonant sound. They come in various sizes, from baby grands to concert grands, with longer pianos generally producing richer and more powerful tones. **Upright Pianos**: Upright pianos, also known as vertical pianos, are more compact and suitable for smaller spaces. Their soundboard and strings are positioned vertically, which results in a more compact sound. Upright pianos come in different sizes, from spinet pianos (the smallest) to upright grands, studio pianos, and full-size uprights. They are popular for home use and are often more affordable than grand pianos. **Digital Pianos**: Digital pianos are electronic instruments that aim to replicate the sound and feel of acoustic pianos. They come in various sizes, from compact and portable models to full-size, furniture-style digital pianos. Digital pianos use sampled piano sounds and can offer a wide range of additional features, such as built-in metronomes, various instrument sounds, and connectivity options. They are often chosen for their versatility, as they can be used with headphones and for recording, practice, or performance. These three categories encompass the primary types of pianos available, each catering to different needs and preferences based on space, budget, and musical requirements.

Grand pianos can be purchased from the people that make the pianos such as Steinway. In addition, the pianos can also be purchased from retailers such as PianoMart.
The sustain pedal on the far right is used to sustain the notes played on a piano. This is true for both vertical and grand pianos.
Actually electric pianos did not replace acoustic pianos. There are literally millions of acoustic pianos in the united states alone, and more being bought every week. I personally see about 1000 pianos a year because I work as a piano tuner/technician. Electric pianos do come in handy for traveling to gigs, but acoustic pianos are very much alive and well.
These pianos' keys. This piano's keys.
No, Emerson pianos are not good.
