Here is a "grand" version of a console piano! The lid hinges on the left end of the piano and opens up similar to that of a grand piano, allowing for more beautiful music to float out into the room.
This Kawai has a stylish design and is a wonderful instrument to play. It has a powerful sound for only being a console piano. The tone is not muffled like some vertical pianos. The touch is slightly heavier than average, but not so heavy as to restrict you from playing comfortably.
The piano includes a Dampp Chaser humidity control system which will take out humidity if it is too moist....and add humidity if you are in a dry climate. This alone is a $350 value.
If you're looking for an all-around quality piano, you have that right here.
