A baby grand piano is an elegant piece of furniture that fits easily into the rooms of many homes.

The smallest of the grand pianos, which has just started in less than five feet 5'2 "and are measured from the front end of the keyboard to the back, with the lid closed.

Place where

The signature form of giving babies a strong presence to a room and most likely will be the focal point to determine where to place your piano in the room prior to organizing the rest of the furniture.

Never put your baby grand piano near or against a working group of the radiator, heat or roof vents.

Ideally, the piano should not be placed in an outer wall to cool or near a window or door because of possible projects.

Unless conditions are extreme they adhere to this rule may not be practical and still have a piano. You have to use their trial.

If you are unsure and a wall is the only option, to isolate the air space, placing the piano 6 "away from the wall.

Make Room

The room where the piano instead should be at least twice as long as the baby is big and the ceiling should not be higher than 12 'ideal for sound.

Once you find the piano, the organization of your furniture for the enjoyment of listening and conversation to be focused on the piano, or at the opposite end of where the piano.

Humidity plays an important role in maintaining the piano, as is done in much of the wood. Keeping the temperature at home at a moderate level and constant help.

Sound Off

The room acoustics are also factors that can affect the tone of the piano.

The sound you hear is mostly reflected and reverberated from the walls, floors, ceilings and windows. In a small room as the room reverberation time is short. The key is finding the right mix to reflect the sound (hard) and sound-absorbent surfaces. (Soft)

Hardwood floors that would be regarded as a sound reflector. Balance the sound with a rug underneath also helps with vibration, or the use of rubber stoppers in the compliance of the legs with it.

Curtains on the windows should be of the type that can be done in order to adjust the amount of sound absorption and release all direct sunlight that could damage the finish of the piano and damage the pitch.

The upholstery is a useful absorber of sound.

Experiment with tapestries, carpets and placement of objects in the room that absorb, reflect or scatter sound.

If the room is long and narrow positioning the piano in a corner may work better acoustics, the sound might otherwise bounce back and forth on the two short parallel walls.

Remember that it is easier to muffle the sound with carpets, curtains or upholstery to make a room more "live" with reflective surfaces.

Move It

A baby grand piano is very heavy to move. The tendency is to try to drag the piano and especially if you want to move into the room. Please, no. It is best to hire professional movers, if you need to move a piano. It is very easy to break a leg on a piano and a large baby that could be disastrous.

If you decide to move the piano you get 3-5 strong men to gather around the circumference, not completely lifted, but to relieve stress on the legs.
