And You Thought Pianos Were for Quiet People: Baby Grand Master

One killer appearance in you club

What do you think of as your hear the word piano"? I am quite sure you imagine a very tidy person wearing a ball dress (if the player is a she) or a tuxedo (for the he-player), on the stage of a Victorian theater, playing some cool classical music. Or maybe (for the more contemporary people) , a cafe full of fine tobacco smoke and a "bored", good-looking chick playing some bluesy tunes, accompanied by an invisible (due to the smoke) bass player... Well, if you have such thoughts in your mind, chase them away because the piano I'll be telling you about is none of these!


The Gardner Post issued the most provocative piano ever built so far: a more-than-complete tool for any DVJ could ever dream of, no matter how imaginative he/she could be! It looks like a concert piano but the concerts it was intended for are totally different. The Baby Grand Master is a multi-tool DJ desk and powerhouse all loaded in the shape of a piano with a hyper-reflexive white finish.

Overkill load of tech

To be more precise, the Baby Grand Master sports a dementing 1,100W amplifier which will pump it juice in a truly mind-blowing speaker array: two 15" woofers for the ordinary bass, one 12" for the fill-in lows and a tormenting 18" low-low driver which is most likely to make a wall crumble; the highs come from a triple Bullet tweeter system so your windows may not be quite safe..

For the modern DJ, video is as important as the audio component and this is why the Baby Grand Master comes loaded with two Pioneer DVJ-X1 DVD Players, one Edirol V-4 video mixer, 3 Marshal LCD monitors and slot loading assembly; all this gear meant to make eyes gaze in wonder! The audio equipment is none below the stated quality as it runs through an Allen & Heath Xone 92 mixer.

The "piano" comes on a 8-foot turning table especially designed for the wildest parties around and what I've told you so far isn't all: this already killer gear can also be upgraded and you can benefit from further enhancements such as hydraulic legs and lid, neon underlighting and running lights, high gloss lacquer finish in any color, fog and laser assembly, touring package.

The price is unknown yet but I expect it's going to be a killer one as well! Enjoy some more pics of this extraordinary piece of equipment!
