Hello everyone!

I should buy a new piano.. the space where I have to put it is not huge, so I would like to know if there is an abysmal difference between a baby grand and a parlor grand ...thanks

Well, obviously there are differences. One would have to evaluate the space anyway. 'Not that big' can mean several things. For me, 'not that big' could be 50 sqm, for others 10sqm. What area are we talking about? In a 10 sqm room, absurdly enough, a baby grand might sound better depending on the acoustics. With a grand piano you would have a more beautiful base sound, but the sound would bounce everywhere making you uncomfortable during performance, so you would have to treat the room and absorb a lot.

In reality it is a very small bedroom and the fourth one is definitely better ...I wanted to know if the mechanism is similar
