[Gerald Groot]

Will,

 

That's because to all customers, regardless of size, their pianos are their
"babies."

Boy, you guys are missing the obvious reason why Steinway B's are still baby
grands.  Concert grands are at least 15 feet long, didn't you know
that?????!!!!

 

And why isn't anyone talking about all those Grand Babys out there?  Haven't
you ever tuned one for a customer?

Bill if you re read my post I said that "tuners" rarely, if ever use the
term "baby grand"  Your link is to the Yamaha site etc  would have been set
up by sales people for the non technical public who mostly refer to  all
grands as "baby" ;-)

I own a 1936 Steinway B from a ABC here in Australia, They did a on air
story about this Broken Hill grand piano. The presenter spoke about the
"baby grand" they used to have. A B Steinway is 6 foot 11 inches!! Far short
of less than 4 feet which I would consider to be called baby.;-)

No serious person uses the term "Baby Grand"?

Kawai & Yamaha & Steinway refer to a "Baby Grand" class of pianos.

 

Maybe some piano tuners don't refer to a classification of "Baby Grands",
but certain manufacturers certainly do.  

 

Robert:  That was a nice "thank you" to those who responded to your question
w/ positive suggestions.  Hopefully we're all here to learn & share what
knowledge we have.

I think that Robert gave his non tech status away when he called his piano a

"baby grand" No piano tuners I know of refers to any model grand as "a baby"
