New Piano ... Source

[Farrell]

Tell 'em "baby" grand refers to age, just like with people. So a NEW Yamaha or Kawai 6 feet or bigger is a "baby" grand. I agree wholeheartedly - go about 6 feet or bigger. IMHO, a Kawai RX-2 (about 5' 10" or 5' 11") is a very nice, "minimum" Asian grand (minimum, but quite adequate, of what I would consider to be of professional potential in size and quality).

Young man is opening a recording studio in our little town. Very impressive array of equipment, loaner drums, guitars, keyboards, etc.

Very specific target: He wants to buy a new, black Yamaha or Suzuki baby grand (or comparable). He does recording and audio work for major league stadiums and other large venues in St. Louis. Likes the bright oriental piano sound. I suggested something 6 feet or bigger but he was fixated on the words "baby grand."
