Stow TV behind piano - elegant solution for music, design and modern technology


The keyword "stow TV behind piano" is becoming increasingly important - especially in in design-oriented living concepts in which music, aesthetics and technology are harmoniously should come together harmoniously. A piano is a strong statement in a room: emotional, high-quality, timeless. A visible television often looks distracting next to it. The solution: integrate the television invisibly behind the piano.

With the right technical solutions, a television can be elegantly concealed behind a piano behind a piano without detracting from the instrument. In everyday life, the TV disappears completely out of sight and only moves upwards or forwards when required - a perfect combination of culture, design and Combination of culture, design and modern living technology.


Why hide a TV behind the piano?

A piano is not a piece of furniture, but a design element with emotional value. Many Living spaces are deliberately planned around the instrument. A television often does not fit in visually into this concept.

  • The room remains calm, high-quality and musically characterized
  • No black screen competes with the instrument
  • Living and music areas can be elegantly combined
  • Ideal for living rooms, lounges and prestigious rooms

Stowing a TV behind the piano is therefore not only a technical decision, but above all but above all a design decision.


Basic principle: How does a TV behind the piano work?

The central principle is that the piano does not support the TV. Instead, the TV is mounted on a separate, stable system - usually on the wall - and the piano merely serves as an optical cover and the piano merely serves as an optical cover.

When not in use, the TV is completely behind the piano. When activated:

  • the TV moves motorized upwards or forwards,
  • positions itself above or just behind the piano lid,
  • and disappears out of sight again after use.

This leaves the instrument untouched and free from mechanical stress.


The ideal solution: TV lift behind the piano

The technically cleanest and safest solution is a TV lift behind the piano. The TV is lifted:

  • mounted directly on the wall,
  • guided over a motorized TV lift,
  • and completely concealed by the piano.

The TV only extends when it is needed. The piano itself remains static and functional - a decisive advantage over DIY constructions.

Advantages of a TV lift behind the piano

  • No strain or changes to the piano
  • TV completely invisible in everyday life
  • Clean wall mounting
  • Quiet, precise operation
  • Can be retrofitted

Which piano types are suitable?

In principle, the solution is suitable for almost all common types of piano:

  • Upright pianos: particularly suitable due to their height
  • Designer pianos: ideal for modern living spaces
  • Digital pianos: can usually be combined very flexibly

This solution is generally not practical for grand pianos, as the design and placement have different requirements Requirements.


TV sizes & positioning

Depending on the room height, piano height and lift system, different TV sizes can be realized can be realized:

  • 42 inch
  • 43 inch
  • 50 inch
  • 55 inches
  • 65 inches
  • 75 inches (with sufficient piano height)

The TV is positioned in such a way that it stands out clearly from the piano when it is extended, without affecting its use or acoustics.


Mounting & safety

Fixing a TV lift to the wall behind the piano is technically uncomplicated and safe. The important thing is

  • stable wall (solid wall or suitable drywall)
  • sufficient distance between TV and piano
  • no connection between the mechanism and the instrument

The piano remains completely free from mechanical forces - a central point for Longevity and value retention.


Revision & maintenance

An inspection option should also be planned for this solution:

  • Access to the lift mechanism behind the piano
  • Service opening or screwed cover
  • sufficient cable lengths

This keeps the system maintenance-friendly and flexible in the long term.

Special design solution: integrating a TV into a disused grand piano

A particularly unusual and at the same time emotionally powerful solution arises when there is a Grand piano that is no longer in use - for example because it can no longer be played no longer playable, cannot be tuned or is deliberately left in the room as a design and memento in the room. In precisely this case, the grand piano itself can be turned into a stage for modern technology: The television is integrated directly into the grand piano.

Important: This solution is expressly intended for empty, decommissioned or no longer used grand pianos grand pianos that are no longer used. A fully functional concert or living room grand piano should not be rebuilt. However, instruments that are no longer in use offer a unique opportunity to Opportunity to combine culture, design and technology.


This is how the solution works: Grand piano lid opens 90° - TV appears

The basic idea behind this solution is as simple as it is spectacular:

  • The sash remains in the room as a design object
  • The interior of the sash is used for new technical purposes
  • The television is completely concealed in the grand piano

When not in use, the grand piano looks like a classic instrument. When activated The following happens:

  1. The grand piano lid opens motorized by approx. 90°
  2. The lid folds upwards in a controlled manner and remains stable in the open position
  3. The TV also folds upwards synchronously and becomes visible
  4. After switching off, the cover closes again automatically (TV Trigger-Out)

The result is a highly innovative design solution that integrates technology completely invisibly and at the same time makes a real statement in the room.


Why an empty sash is ideal for this solution

A disused sash offers several decisive advantages:

  • Generous interior space for technology and mechanics
  • High inherent stability of the carcass
  • Perfect viewing height for large TV diagonals
  • Strong emotional and design effect

Precisely because the grand piano was originally an instrument, it creates an exciting contrast between classical culture and modern media technology.


TV stars & technology in the grand piano

The volume of a grand piano means that larger televisions can also be integrated:

  • 55 inch
  • 65 inch
  • 75 inches (depending on the grand piano model)
  • 85 inches (depending on the grand piano model)

The television is attached to the cover or guided inside the separate lift or lifting mechanism inside the sash. The cover itself serves as a cover and opens together with the TV system.


Safety & mechanics

To ensure that this solution functions reliably in the long term, the following points are taken into account:

  • Smooth, damped motorization for the sash cover
  • End position and obstacle detection
  • Separate mechanism for lid and TV
  • Quiet operation without jerking

This keeps the sash protected, the TV safe - and the movement looks elegant and high quality.


Design effect: a real statement

A TV in a grand piano is more than just a technical solution - it is an architectural statement.

  • Perfect for lofts, designer apartments and gallery spaces
  • Ideal for hotels, suites and showrooms
  • Unique and incomparable to classic furniture solutions

The moment when the wing lid opens and the TV appears is almost staged - a real almost staged - a real experience for residents and guests.


Important note

This solution is only intended for grand pianos that are no longer in use or are empty. A functioning instrument should not be converted. The conversion is always individually and requires careful technical planning.
