This upright piano has the spool box above the keyboard. Two sliding doors open to expose the spool box. The play and reroll levers are located in front of the keyboard in the \'flipboard\'. There is also a tempo lever which allows you to either make the music play faster or slower. There are also Bass Soft and Treble Soft controls, which effectively reduce the volume of the music adding another degree of expression to music.
