A Mammoth piano is a hybrid 7' tall vertical grand piano that is built by the Mammoth Piano company. It has a full size concert string scale and a double escapement action, and weighs about 1500lbs. The piano is unique, custom built, and there is no other piano like it made today.
The largest piano ever built is the Klavins M450 Vertical Concert Grand. Created by the German piano builder David Klavins, this piano stands at an impressive 4.5 meters (14 feet 9 inches) tall. Unlike traditional grand pianos, which have a horizontal design, the Klavins M450 is a vertical piano that allows for longer strings and, consequently, a richer sound. This giant instrument is a unique and rare creation in the world of pianos.
