There are two main types of piano - upright, in which the strings are set vertically, and grand, in which the strings are set horizontally.
I believe the term "stand up piano" is another way of saying "upright piano". An upright piano has strings that are vertical (top to bottom) unlike the more popular grand piano which has strings that are horizontal (front to back). If you would like more info go to http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano
Modern pianos come in two basic design and several sizes: the grand piano and the upright piano. Grand pianos have the frame and strings placed going side ways, with the strings extending away from the keyboard. This avoids the problems caused in an upright piano, but takes up a lot of room and needs high ceilings for the right kind of sound. & Upright pianos, also called vertical pianos, are smaller because the frame and strings are placed so that they go up and down, extending in either direction from the keyboard and hammers. Hope This Helps.
An "upright grand" piano is simply a big old upright piano. The term was common in the early part of the twentieth century and was intended to infer a sense of higher quality than the rather ordinary term "upright piano" (and was often used by manufacturers of lower quality instruments). "Cabinet grand" was a similar term applied to upright pianos. I think the bass strings of an upright grand are longer than in plain upright.
A piano produces sound just like a guitar. Inside piano either grand or upright has piano strings attached inside with every keys. When you hit a certain key, the strings vibrate creating sound that is very pleasing in the ear.

On a concer piano, the strings are positioned vertically.

A grand has the same essential parts , that is ,hammers to strike the strings when the keys are pressed and felt dampers that are lifted away from the strings when they are struck. The linkage of the hammers to the keys is different and simpler in a grand.
The Upright Piano was invented in 1826.
Nearly all piano harps are made of cast iron.
Take out "guts" the sound board (strings) and the keys and install a digital keyboard in its place and still keep the shell of the original piano
Piano strings are made of steel wire and the hammers and dampers are made of wood and felt. Piano tuning pins are made of metal. The frame can be made of wood or metal and the bridge can be made of wood or metal.
This is difficult to answer because "upright piano" is a standard and well-defined term "Student piano" is not. In 99% of cases, a "student" piano IS an upright piano.
