Handel Pianos

The Hailun HG 161 baby grand piano is a fantastic entry level instrument from the Hailun (pronounced "Hay Loon) factory in China. Although little known outside of the Chinese domestic market, the Hailun piano factory is a very well regarded maker, and produces many instruments under license for European manufacturers, such as the highly regarded Zimmermann brand for C Bechstein. They're currently producing some of the best value for money instruments on the market, so are well worth a look!

This Hailun Model 161 is their flagship baby grand piano, which at five foot and three inches in length, easily fits into most domestic environments. The instrument produces a significantly deeper and more powerful tone than the smaller HG 151 model, due to its longer string length and larger soundboard. This also gives the piano a greater dynamic range and richer tonal palette, all of which come together to make it a fantastic sounding piano for the money that really needs to be played to be fully appreciated.

The Hailun HG 161 would make an ideal instrument for anybody starting off who wants a solidly built baby grand for learning to play on, or indeed as a nice piece of furniture to use as a centrepiece to a room etc. The HG 161 is also good enough to be used well into the higher grades, so is a piano that would suit even the more advanced player.

As with all Hailun baby grand pianos, the HG 161 boasts a unique, hydraulically assisted "soft close" lid mechanism, which makes it virtually weightless, as well as safer, to raise and lower. The piano also boasts a close fall.

This Hailun HG 161 is finished in a clean and contemporary style casework with straight legs and a solid once piece music rest. The instrument comes in a very attractive high gloss black polyester casework which is complemented with a with a satin mahogany inner rim and pale gold coloured frame. The instrument can also be ordered in a stunning high gloss white if required.
