New grand pianos are likely the most well-known out of all the piano types. They have been featured in everything from major Broadway performances to being used in high-budget movies and TV shows. Primarily, they are used for classical concerto solos, chamber music, and art song. 

While there have been many people who know how to play the piano like Mozart and Bach, some surprising celebrities you might not realize who also know how to play the grand piano well are Robert Downey Jr., Clint Eastwood, and Jeff Goldblum. 

This type of piano is by far the largest and the total floor space needed for the smallest grand should be at least 152cm (5ft) wide by 198cm (6.5ft) long, including bench space. They weigh a significant amount too from 500lbs to 1200lbs. New baby grand pianos offer smaller size while uncompromising in sound if space is more of an issue. 

New grand pianos offer unmatched sound quality more so than any other type of piano and are the highest tier model available.
