Top 5 grand pianos to have in your home
Posted: Aug 04, 2008 | Category: Musical Instruments, Pianos
Reid Sohn SIG54
We have all seen them in the movies, a beautiful grand piano sitting in the living room, well, if you have ever thought of buying one, here is a list of what I think are the top 5 grand pianos, all of these can be found at Sheargold Music.
The cheapest of the 5 is the Reid Sohn SIG54 at £7,895.00. This beautifully made grand piano is available in 3 different colours, ebony, mahogany and American walnut.
The piano has 88 keys and is 103 x 148 x 161cm (HxWxD).
Samick NSG186
The next piano is the Samick NSG186 6′1″. This piano is perfect for everyone, because of the shape of the body the bass string is longer than other pianos of similar length, having this longer string increases the sound quality making it perfect for performers, also, because the piano is a reasonable size and at £15,995.00 it’s perfect for anyone who wants one in their home.
The third piano on my list is the Schimmel K169T. This grand piano is £21,995.00 and is available in ebony or mahogany, and with the option of satin hand-rubbed finishes available, plus with its three angle option top with a built in hydraulic soft close system, this would make a wonderful addition to any home.

Kawai RX-6G
My penultimate piano on my list is the Kawai RX-6G 7′0″. This beautifully built grand piano combines a high quality rich tone with a stunning finish, this is a perfect piano for any home, music studio or concert hall.
The RX-6G is a number one choice for professional musicians and once you play it, you will understand why this is so.
My final grand piano, and the most expensive is the Yamaha CFIIIS, this amazing piano is a staggering £77,999.00 and it’s one of the number one concert grand pianos in the world.
With its faster, more sensitive keyboard response, structural and tuning stability this grand piano will be no let down.
Not just is this piano the most expensive in my list, it’s also the largest and the heaviest. At 160 x 275 x 103 (HxWxD) and weighing a massive 500kg you would need a large and strong floor space to hold this beast of a piano.
