Tendens

Tendens is a new class of piano that goes further than the traditional grand ever could. Its touch is immediate and precise, its sound both clear and singing — open, rich, and lasting. More than portable, it adapts to players and spaces, giving pianists freedom. With Tendens, pianists gain health, independence, and control — an instrument that surpasses the grand and secures the future of their art.
