Across
  1. 2. Early predecessor of the piano.
  2. 6. A type of upright piano specifically designed for schools, studios, and practice spaces. It’s usually taller than a standard upright, providing better sound and volume due to the longer strings and larger soundboard.
  3. 7. An electric instrument that mimics an acoustic piano.
  4. 9. An acoustic piano with a built-in option to play silently by engaging a mute function, allowing the pianist to hear the sound only through headphones.
  5. 10. A self-playing piano that uses rolls of perforated paper or digital programming to play music automatically.
Down
  1. 1. A piano often used in concert performances.
  2. 3. A mid-sized upright piano. It has a direct action, meaning the hammers strike the strings directly.
  3. 4. A piano with strings arranged vertically.
  4. 5. Smallest type of upright piano. It uses a "drop action" mechanism to save space, but this makes the touch less responsive.
  5. 8. Generates sound through electronic amplification rather than string vibrations. Unlike digital pianos, they typically use electromechanical designs.
