Upright Pianos

Hutchings Pianos stock an extensive range of upright pianos for pianists at all playing levels. An upright piano is a vertical piano that is popular due to its compact design. Although the width of upright pianos (keyboard length) remains the same, they can range in height from anywhere between 108cm and 132cm. The taller the piano, the longer the strings and hence taller pianos exhibit greater sound projection, depth of tone and provide greater expression capabilities. Hutchings Pianos stock a wide range of new upright piano brands, including Schimmel, Yamaha, Alex.Steinbach and Beale, at price points to suit any budget, starting from $2,995 and then at various price points all the way up to $29,995 for the most professional, premium model.

Grand Pianos

Grand pianos are the ultimate choice in pianos. This is partly because of their beautiful shape, but mainly because they display superior sound. A grand piano’s soundboard is not placed vertically against a wall like an upright piano, but horizontal to the floor, allowing the soundboard to vibrate more freely. The dampers also fall by gravity and not by spring and are therefore more efficient. In addition, the lid can be opened wider, allowing greater sound projection.

Grand pianos range in size from 140cm in length (or 4 ft) up to 275cm (9 ft) and above. The longer the grand piano, the longer the strings and hence longer grand pianos exhibit greater sound projection, depth of tone and provide greater expression capabilities.

Baby grand pianos (140-161cm) are perfect for new pianists and look absolutely stunning in homes. Intermediate to advanced pianists and entertainment venues will prefer a medium to semi-concert grand (161-225cm). Larger auditoriums will require a concert grand piano (over 225cm).

Hutchings Pianos stock a wide range of new grand pianos from around the world - Germany, Japan, Korea, Indonesia and China - at price points to suit any budget, starting from $9,995 and then at various price points all the way up to $150,000 for the most superbly designed and prestigious model.

Digital Pianos

Digital pianos are sometimes confused with keyboards, but there are a few important differences. Keyboards have just 61-76 notes whereas digital pianos are the same length as a traditional acoustic piano with about 88 notes or 7 to 8 octaves. Digital pianos also generate better sound than keyboards because they have more powerful speakers. The other major difference is that digital pianos usually feel more realistic, like a traditional acoustic piano. You may hear the term ‘weighted, hammered action’. This refers to an attempt to grade the keyboard from left to right (bass to treble). The bass notes in the left are generally harder to press than the treble notes on the right, just like on a traditional acoustic piano.

The main benefits of a digital piano over an acoustic piano include the variety of sounds and rhythms, opening up a world of creative options. They can be connected to computers for recording or score-writing and they don’t need tuning!

Hutchings Pianos stock only the best digital piano brands, Yamaha Clavinovas, Casio Privias and Celvianos, at price points to suit any budget, starting from $1,399.

Silent & Player Pianos

Silent pianos are acoustic pianos that allow you to use your piano in the traditional manner , but you can also play them silently through headphones. Fantastic for young students, families competing for living room space, or people living in close proximity to neighbours. You can play your piano at any time of the day or night without disturbing anyone, record to a computer like a digital piano and also enjoy the benefits of owning a traditional acoustic piano.

Automated player pianos are like modern day pianolas. They are realistic and accurate digital reproductions of the pianist's performance, heard through your acoustic piano. The keys move automatically and you can even connect to surround sound systems, adjusting the volume of the piano with your remote control to suit the environment or occasion. They come complete with a library of music to entertain for hours and you can purchase more music online!
