Whether a grand piano can fit into a HDB flat in Singapore, or even a HDB lift in the first place, is definitely an interesting and popular question to ask when you want to buy a piano.

Given its big dimensions compared to an upright piano, we have always wonder if it is possible to live the dream of having a grand piano within our very own HDB living room in the heartland.

If you could see Fats Domino’s piano today, you might think he had been kind enough to donate one of his signature grands to the museum for its music collection. That is, if you were unaware of the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina 10 years ago, including Domino’s home.

Curators from the Louisiana State Museum raised $35,000 to have it reassembled and restored.

Despite the painstaking restoration, the white grand piano is unplayable. It is this last fact that makes the story of this instrument such a powerful metaphor for New Orleans since Katrina.

The Klavins Vertical Concert Grand introduces a new dimension of dynamics and timbre to the world of pianos, creating an instrument entirely without compromise.

The M450i is for those for whom the supposed best never has been good enough, for those with limitless creativity who seek new possibilities.

The Klavins Vertical Concert Grand introduces a new dimension of dynamics and timbre to the world of pianos, creating an instrument entirely without compromise.

The M450i is for those for whom the supposed best never has been good enough, for those with limitless creativity who seek new possibilities. The vertical construction of the M450i enables it to be integrated directly into fixed structures, much like an organ is permanently installed into a concert hall in order to maximize the instrument’s sonic potential.

The Klavins M450i is especially well suited for concert halls, larger private dwellings, art centers, modern museums, churches, luxury cruise ships, and the like.

Drastically reducing the weight of the instrument is a big feature of the Standing Grand. Whilst a standard grand piano weighs around 450kg, the Standing Grand will weigh around 82kg, making it so much easier to shift around your home.
