DescriptionThe upright piano by Steinway is referred to as a Boudoir upright. The piano is completely black, except for large geometric shapes on the front of the piano which are brown. These three shapes are carved into and sit back into the piano. The piano itself is rather plain, except for these shapes (the three brown geometric figures on the piano front above the keyboard and two more-painted black below the keyboard), and two highly ornate legs that support the keyboard. These legs are S-shaped and flowery decorated. The piano has two pedals, una corde and damper.
