Disklavier

You can place an upright piano anywhere you want to except next to an open 
window,  a radiator or heat vent, or in front of a baseboard heater.  
Personally, I think the farther they are from the wall the better the sound. 
  Our church has a little studio upright that we have turned from facing the 
wall to facing the room - and with glorious results.  I have often seen 
uprights sitting diagonally across a corner of a room - also with good 
results.

I have been a piano technician for 22 years now, and it still amazes me the 
myths in which the piano-owning public believes!
