| | Grand piano - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A grand piano is the concert form of a piano. | | | Grand Pianos are typically used for concerts and concert hall performances, although a baby grand piano can also be used in a household where space is limited. | | | Grand pianos are distinguished from upright pianos, which have their strings and frame arranged vertically. |

| | Piano - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | A piano is a keyboard instrument, which is widely used in western music for solo performance, chamber music, and accompaniment, and also as a convenient aid to composing and rehearsal. | | | The piano is a crucial instrument in Western classical music, jazz, film, television and electronic game music, and most other complex western musical genres. | | | With the exception of the toy piano, these instruments are called "piano" by virtue of being keyboard instruments but are electric or electronic in nature, not acoustic. |

| | Should I buy a Grand Piano? |

| | Courtney Pianos: Types of Grand Piano |
| | Grand pianos much less than 5ft long suffer from loss of tone quality due to short strings, though a small grand made by one of the better-known makers can be a worthy instrument, if it is built with a `roller' action. | | | The manner in which grand pianos are constructed is, in principle, the same as an upright, but the size (length) varies considerably. | | | In terms of tone-quality, the longer the strings, the superior and richer the tone, which is why the finest pianos are always concert grands. |

| | Acoustic grand pianos (inclusive of "baby grands", which are simply smaller grands) are a major accomplishment of musical engineering -- peerless in all of the families of instruments. | | | The sound in a vertical travels out of the back of the instrument, whereas a grand piano's sound travels out of its top, bottom and is reflected powerfully off of the rim and lid. | | | A grand piano consists of over 10,000 moving parts that work together to make an extraordinarily complicated and rich sound. |

| | Grand Piano - An Introduction |
| | All the recordings in the Grand Piano series have been made at the Concert Hall of the Nimbus Foundation using a Steinway Grand. | | | Since then piano rolls have generally been looked upon as mildly amusing side shows in the history of sound recording, largely due to the fact that players had not been maintained to proper operating standards and consequently the sound they reproduced appeared mechanical and unrealistic. | | | So, for example we are able to hear a recording of one of Liszt's Grand Etudes de Concert from a roll made in 1924 by Frederic Lamond who at the age of seventeen was taken to study with Liszt in Weimar. |
