Best Answer

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.

The largest piano ever built is the Klavins M450 Vertical Concert Grand. Created by the German piano builder David Klavins, this piano stands at an impressive 4.5 meters (14 feet 9 inches) tall.
