Model 450i
Vertical Concert Grand
The Klavins Vertical Concert Grand introduces a new dimension of dynamics and timbre to the world of pianos, creating an instrument entirely without compromise.
The M450i is for those for whom the supposed best never has been good enough, for those with limitless creativity who seek new possibilities. The vertical construction of the M450i enables it to be integrated directly into fixed structures, much like an organ is permanently installed into a concert hall in order to maximize the instrument’s sonic potential. The Klavins M450i is especially well suited for concert halls, larger private dwellings, art centers, modern museums, churches, luxury cruise ships, and the like.
Main Points of unique difference vs. the traditional concert grand piano
Ideal for architectural integration—the solid steel outer frame can be built into a wall, attached to columns, affixed to any solid concrete wall, or hung from a ceiling or solid structure.
Entirely customized to your specifications—color; open, closed, or partially open body; exposed or covered steel structure; LED lighting; and more.
Height and width can be adjusted to fit your space. The M450i’s signature sound can be achieved between the heights of 250-450cm and widths of 200-250cm. Piano’s depth is always 29cm.
Each piano is individually handcrafted by David Klavins & team in Latvia. More efficient footprint than the traditional grand piano.
