About it
An upright piano stands its strings on end, so a full piano fits against a wall. Its hammers swing forward onto the strings instead of flying up, and a spring brings them back. Uprights filled homes, schools and dance halls, and a slightly out-of-tune one gives the bright, jangly honky-tonk sound of ragtime.
This one has its upper front panel off, so you see the row of hammers, the dampers above them and the strings behind. Tap a key and its hammer strikes. Tap anywhere else for the opening of The Entertainer, a rag Scott Joplin published in 1902. Open a MIDI file of your own, or paste a tune in ABC notation, in the Splash tab.
