Compact Self-Playing Pianos

The Goldfinch Sygnet is the Smallest Grand Piano in the World

Designed exclusively for superyachts, the Goldfinch Sygnet is the world's smallest grand piano. In addition to its compact qualities, this musical instrument is able to play music on its own.

Designed by Goldfinch, the Goldfinch Sygnet was specifically made to fit the dimensions of a superyacht. The grand piano is outfitted with Goldfinch's Virtuoso self-playing feature and is customizable so buyers can tailor it to meet their needs. Hand-built in Cambridge, the grand piano measures 127 cm in length and comes complete with wireless iPod controls, a solid spruce German “Strunz” soundboard, “Abel” hammers and state-of-the-art carbon fiber action.

The Goldfinch Sygnet will be showcased at the 2016 Palm Beach International Boat Show from March 17th to March 20th, 2016.
