Narrow keyboards for smaller hands.
Welcome to
The Piano Strettosphere*
Hands don’t come in one size: neither should pianos. A better fit means less stretching, more control, and more freedom to play the music you love.
We sell narrow-key pianos from Steinway & Sons, Steingraeber, and August Förster, as well as offering retrofits for existing pianos.
* Stretto = narrow in Italian
“The physical pleasure of playing the piano is one of the greatest joys. If one can play whatever one wants, for example, persons with small hands using “stretto” narrow key pianos to play pieces they could or would not play otherwise, this will bring more joy and happiness to the world.
Those who question the usefulness of stretto pianos could be open to the narrative of the logic of those who love them.”
— Maestro Daniel Barenboim
You've always had to “stretch” at the piano.
Octaves and big chords feel tense. Some music leaves your hands aching.
But that’s just what playing the piano feels like. Right?
Now you can play a piano that fits your hands.
The standard piano is built for big hands – leaving small-handed pianists to stretch, strain, and work far harder than they should.
The research is clear: narrow keys transform what’s possible. Stop stretching, and finally start playing the way you want to.
