Question: What’s the difference between a baby grand and a concert grand?
The main difference is the size – as the name suggests, baby grands are the smallest, usually between five and six foot in length. The smallest concert grands are around seven foot long, which is well over two metres! Some manufacturers produce concert grands up to nine foot in length, and even longer in some cases. This extra length provides space for a much longer soundboard and strings, producing a much fuller and louder sound. Such an instrument might be a bit too much for the living room though, which is why baby grands are so popular!
Thanks to everyone who has submitted a question so far, we will get through them all! Will attempt to answer 3-4 a week. Keep them coming!
