double-wound strings...

[Farrell]

I'm convinced that for whatever reason, many (most?) people think that there
is a fundamental difference between the design and construction of a "baby"
grand as opposed to a grand. When you tell them it is nothing more than a
layman's term for "small" grand piano and that there is nothing
fundamentally different between a "baby" grand and a grand, except for size,
they are often a bit disbelieving.
