Not all grand pianos are created equal — even when they’re the same size or brand. Small differences in design dramatically change touch, tone, projection, and long-term performance.
In this free informative session, we’ll explore how gravity-fed actions work, how different design ‘recipes’ produce different playing experiences, and how soundboard size and string length directly affect power, sustain, and tonal colour. This session is designed to help you select a grand piano that will best fit your musical goals and the space in your home.
