W. Hoffmann T 177: European grand piano with more projection, depth and control

The W. Hoffmann T 177 is a European grand piano for those who want more sound presence, more dynamic headroom and an even more complete response for performance. At 177 cm, it offers a very appealing balance between size and capability: it fills the room naturally, with greater harmonic depth and a wider expressive range than more compact models. At MestresDaMúsica, in Viseu, you get expert advice to choose the right configuration and ensure safe delivery across mainland Portugal.

W. Hoffmann T 177 sound: more body, sustain and natural projection

In a 177 cm grand piano, the difference is felt in the body of the sound and in the way notes sustain and connect. The W. Hoffmann T 177 delivers natural projection, with richer bass, full mids and clear treble, while keeping balance and definition. It responds beautifully to nuance—from controlled pianissimo to a confident forte—making it an excellent choice for classical repertoire, jazz and expressive performance.

• Greater harmonic depth and a stronger “big piano” feel
• Longer, more natural sustain (notes breathe more)
• Balanced projection for home, studio or dedicated rooms

Touch and control: grand piano action for repetition, nuance and precision

One of the key benefits of a grand piano is the action response: it tends to feel more direct and allows finer control over repetition and articulation. On the W. Hoffmann T 177, that translates into more stable playing and an easier time shaping dynamics and phrasing—especially when you want to play with detail and intention.

If you also see this model listed as W. Hoffmann T177 (without the space), it’s the same piano. Using the spaced format in the name improves readability and stays consistent with the manufacturer’s reference.

Upgrade option 1 (extra, priced separately): Connect Pro
If you want additional/more advanced digital features beyond the standard Connect, Connect Pro can be installed as an optional upgrade. This option has its own price.

Upgrade option 2 (extra, priced separately): Vario Duet Silent-System
If you need to practice without disturbing others, the Vario Duet Silent-System can be installed as an optional system to play with headphones. This option has its own price.

Delivery and setup in mainland Portugal

Delivery and setup: we deliver the piano to your home in mainland Portugal and set it up on site (we remove it from the crate and leave everything assembled and ready). If there are stairs or difficult access, transport must be quoted separately. For that reason, we ask customers to call before purchasing so we can confirm access conditions, delivery details and the final service cost.

1st tuning included

1st tuning included: we include the first tuning of the piano. For the best result, this tuning should be done only after about 3 weeks, so the instrument can settle and stabilize in the new environment. If the tuning is outside the Viseu district, the customer only pays the technician’s travel cost.

Who is the W. Hoffmann T 177 for?

• For anyone who wants a European grand piano with more projection, body and detail
• For pianists who value nuance, repetition and dynamic control
• For those looking for a 177 cm grand piano that’s well-balanced for home, studio or dedicated rooms
• For those who want the option to play with headphones (optional Vario Duet Silent-System)
