The short answer is “yes.” The cabinet design, wood type, and length all determine an instrument’s sound. The length of the strings always has a lot to do with how BIG a smaller grand piano sounds.

The sound of a grand piano is simply that, grand! For the concert stage and in public venues, it is hard to beat the fullness, range, and power of a full-blown grand piano. Depending on the room, its size, the ceiling height, and flooring, and other considerations, a baby grand may be the perfect choice for home use. It fills most living and recreational spaces with plenty of sound. Regardless of how discerning and quality-sensitive a buyer is, there are baby grands in many price ranges, including the “premium piano” category.

One of the most fun musical journeys in the world to take is to visit a showroom and meet the candidates. Even if price is an important consideration, you may want to sit down at the premium pianos and see how close you can get to the touch and feel of a fine piano when choosing one in your price range.
