âAlthough surveys reflect disapproval of the way Congress, the President and the Supreme Court are conducting their affairs, the Annenberg survey demonstrates that many know surprisingly little about these branches of government,â said Kathleen Hall Jamieson, director of the Annenberg Public Policy Center (APPC).
Best Answer: An alto weighs about 3-4 pounds. A tenor weighs about 8. A bari weighs close to 15. The alto and tenor case don't add much more weight, usually a bari case will though. (What the case is made out of will also affect it) The alto is not a heavy instrument at all! I started at 11 and I was very small.
Most piano weight comes from its cast iron harp that holds the strings. Small upright pianos only weigh 300 to 400 lbs. because they have a smaller cast iron harp than big uprights or grand pianos. Big uprights run from 500 lbs. thru 800 lbs. (big player uprights can even hit 900 lbs.).Grand pianos run anywhere from 500 to 1200 lbs. Most grand pianos are 4 1/2' to 6' long so they weigh in between 500 and 800 lbs. But longer grands like the one pictured above weigh much more and they should always be moved by professionals.big player uprights can even hit 900 lbs.).
