Is the Baby Grand Piano Right for You?


There is certainly no credible pianist who would not love to be the proud owner of a grand piano but for the majority of individuals, there are two primary constraints…budget and space to accommodate this sizable instrument. However, the alternative to both of these issues is the baby grand piano. While lacking in grandeur, you will be able to fill your home with beautiful music. The rich quality of sound will always be a cut above the upright models due to the horizontal positioning of the strings. This size piano may also be listed in other terms such as home grand or petite grand. One might find this style in a smaller church setting or studio/classroom where the grand would take up too much space.


When speaking of the quality of sound and the strings being parallel to the floor, this is determined in the baby grand by the space and position of the strings when a key is struck. This results in vibration and the end result is a well-rounded tone and exacting note. While the strings and space are somewhat limited in the baby grand, the production of music is of a higher quality than the best of smaller instruments.

If considering the purchase of a baby grand piano from mail-order or Internet, be certain that you get exactly what you want. Read carefully for the dimensions and be sure that this item meets the measurements of less than six feet and approximately the same width as height. Some pianos for children are marketed under the same title but would hardly be suited for an adult and pricey as a toy. There might be some benefit in looking locally for a previously owned piano if you have a trained technician who can take a look before you finalize the sale.

This petite version of the grand piano can still become quite a conversation piece within the home and might become the gathering place for many home parties, especially during the holiday season when everyone loves to sing carols.
