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.

The Chamber Music Concert Grand CM//250

A more delicate design, a thinner rim and in sound referring even more to the glorious instruments of the end of the 19th century, make this model perfectly suited for chamber music, smaller concert halls and private collections.
