What is a wing
A grand piano, also called a grand piano, is a stringed instrument in which the strings are stretched horizontally. The hammers hit the strings from below. On a piano, these strings are stretched vertically and the hammers hit the strings from the side. The strings of a grand piano are longer and thinner than the strings of a piano, creating a fuller sound. In general, the longer the grand piano, the better the sound. As the length increases, the volume also increases. A grand piano is seen as the professional version of the piano.
Wing vs. Piano
There are both similarities and differences between grand pianos and pianos. The first difference you notice are the visual differences. Pianos usually have a height of between 1 and 1.3 meters, while grand pianos usually have a length of between 1.5 and 3.1 meters.
Another big difference is that the case of a grand piano can be opened. This way the sound comes out better and does not bounce off a wall. This provides a better acoustic experience. The cabinet of a piano is closed, preventing the sound from traveling freely. In addition, a wing causes a lot less nuisance, because the vibrations are absorbed by the floor or wall. This could cause nuisance to the neighbors.
Buying a grand piano: What should you pay attention to?
Of course, our experts and advisors will always provide you with the best advice, but your own preferences come first! What should you pay attention to now? It is important that the sound of this instrument appeals to you and that the piano is pleasant to play. In addition, the design of the wing is also an important aspect. It is nice if the design of the wing somewhat matches the interior and style of your home, but also physically fits into the space.
