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.
A spinet piano, is the smallest vertical piano. A console piano is the next size up. Studio is next then, the full sized uprights.

The serial number is actually 5478!
I have just acquired a Starck Cabinet Grand for transposing and music-writing. The piano I have has serial number 109982 and the year 1930 written next to it, in pencil. From other Starck owners, I would place your piano's manufacture date between 1920 and 1930. They don't seem to be worth much money, but I didn't get mine for investment purposes... I hope this helps a little... John

A centrifugal electric blower is installed in the lower portion of the piano cabinet. Attached to the player action, it creates the same vacuum to operate the player that you do when you pump the pedals with your feet. The blowers installed by Rechel Piano Company, incorporate a volume control, a rewind speed reduction, and a one way valve to allow the piano to still be pumped by foot. Pumping it by foot was the original way to power a player piano.
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.

Upright pianos were called cabinet grand pianos in the early 1900's
Steinway & Sons is probably the single most recognizable brand in piano manufacturers. The company was founded on March 5, 1853 by master cabinet maker Henry Steinway.

Unfortunately many have been broken up and dumped . some a very few get recycled as other antiques (the cabinet that is) . The sconces or candle holders sold seperately for more than one can get for the whole piano .People these days do not have the space or time to use a piano especially and old very heavy one . If they do have a piano it is a modern electronic keyboard , such is the way of the world! Regards Marty
