Grand piano
Encyclopedia : G : GR : GRA : Grand piano
A grand piano is the concert form of a piano. A grand piano has the frame and strings placed horizontally, with the strings extending away from the keyboard. Grand pianos are distinguished from upright pianos, which have their strings and frame arranged vertically.
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. The strings on a Grand Piano are longer, resulting in a louder and 'performing' tone.
Some famous Grand Piano manufacturers are Bösendorfer, Broadwood, Steinway & Sons, Yamaha,
