Piano PaintingsThe Piano Painting is a kind of painting depicting the pianist with oil material, and it is a musical instrument played by means of a keyboard that produces sound by striking steel strings with felt hammers. It is widely used in Western music for solo performance, ensemble use, chamber music, and accompaniment.The word is a shortened form of the word pianoforte, which is seldom used except in formal language and derived from the original Italian name for the instrument.This refers to the instrument's responsiveness to keyboard touch, which allows the pianist to produce notes at different dynamic levels by controlling the speed with which the hammers hit the strings. On this page various kinds of piano paintings,e.g. impressionism oil painting, realism oil paintings, pallete knife oil paintings, are available, please contact us if you need to get more oil painting for selection. Modern pianos come in two basic configurations: the grand pianos and the upright pianos.Grand pianos have the frame and strings placed horizontally, with the strings extending away from the keyboard. This makes the grand piano a large instrument, for which the ideal setting is a spacious room with high ceilings for proper resonance.Upright pianos, also called vertical pianos, are more compact because the frame and strings are vertical, extending in both directions from the keyboard and hammers. It is considered harder to produce a sensitive pianoforte action when the hammers move horizontally, as the vertical hammer return is dependent on springs which are prone to wear and tear.
