Grand Pianos

I know grand pianos take up a lot of space and tend to be a bit pricey, but if you're serious about learning piano and you have the space, there's nothing more enjoyable than playing a real acoustic grand. A grand piano will give you the best sound, touch and musical enjoyment.

Sound Quality

The sound of a grand piano is usually better than its vertical partner due to it's longer strings and larger soundboard. The bass in particular produces a full, resonant sustaining sound. The general rule is; the longer the length of the grand piano, the better and richer the sound will be. Please note that baby grand pianos have the same string length as tall uprights so their sound quality is often similar.

Size (Dimensions)

Size is important when it comes to grand pianos. When we talk about size we usually mean length (front to back). A minimum size you should consider is 4'11" or 149cm. Grand pianos that are shorter than this tend to have a poor sound quality.

Baby grand pianos

The term "baby grand piano" usually refers to instruments with a length of 5'3" or less.

Questions and Comments

Hello Graham,
 
My name is Ronwin, I live in South Africa. Recently I acquired an Otto Bach baby grand piano and I would like to know the approximate age/quality of it if possible. I found a number on the frame stamped as "Patent 429809". Any help in finding information on this piano would be greatly appreciated.
 
Many thanks.
Ronwin (pianist for 30 years)

Reply/ Hi Ronwin

The Otto Bach pianos were made by the Dietmann piano in
Wellington, Republic of South Africa,

The parts were made in Germany, shipped to South Africa
and assembled there.

Your piano was made in 1977.

I personally fell in love with a Dietmann upright piano that
I played around 7 years ago. I have not had the pleasure
of trying the baby grand out, but can imagine it to have
a very nice sound and a joy to play.

Yours pianistically,
Graham Howard
