Ages ago i saw a baby grand built by a bloke with too much spare time. Being non-musical he built it to take an electronic keyboard with the body of the thing holding the speakers which he'd upgraded and balanced to sound very decent.
Apart from the keys the whole thing was awfully convincing to look at and sounded decent too.

I'd like to do the same thing. I've dabbled with paint finishes on scrap and get a fairly convincing gloss black on MDF.

Anyone tackled a Grand? or know where plans would be available? I'm not at all interested in the musical or acoustic part of it, more the carcass and end product.

Apologies if i'm in the wrong section - I'm more familiar with the renovation side of the forum!

Cheers, Jon.
