Upright pianos styles: Overstrung, Straight-strung, Under-damped or Over-damped. Text summary below:

Upright pianos in the UK fall into four main categories. Modern ones (post-1945) are nearly all overstrung underdamped, meaning that the bass strings cross over the treble ones and the dampers (shut off mechanism) under the hammers. However, as much as 25% of all pianos in the UK are straight strung, which means that the strings don't cross over each other, and perhaps 30% are over-damped, which means that the dampers are above the hammers.
