Model range : Straight Strung Grand Pianos in different sizes

Since many of the feedback received from both professionals and audience is so positive, Chris Maene decided to conceive a full family of straight strung grand pianos.

Apart from the Concert Grand CM//284, the factory produces its smaller versions, the Parlor Grand CM//200, the Parlor Grand CM//228, and a particular Chamber Music Concert Grand CM//250 version.

The Maene-Viñoly Concert Grand is an exceptional creation and the most innovative grand piano made in the Atelier Chris Maene.
