Who is the piano made for? A question of hand size, technique and tradition
In October, two special pianos arrived at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki. They had travelled from Bayreuth, Germany, home of Steingraeber & Söhne. What makes these instruments special is their keyboard size, which is narrower than the one practically all pianists are accustomed to. This may not sound exceptional, but these instruments could have a revolutionary effect on the future of piano playing. Why does keyboard size matter so much?
