Grand pianos and their designations.

[Farrell]

I have found that many lay people have the understanding that there is a 
fundamental design difference between a baby grand and a grand - i.e. much 
like the difference between a spinet and an upright. They seem to think that 
there are three basic types of pianos - verticals, grands and baby grands. 
They often appear very surprised to hear that the term baby grand refers 
only to size and that there are not any fundamental design differences 
between baby grand and a grand - other than size.
