Baby grand, e.g. (5)

I believe the answer is:

piano

(Other definitions for piano that I've seen before include "quiet passage" , "Direction in music (1): relatively softly" , "Softly, musically speaking" , "Opposite of forte" , "Quiet (music)" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times, the New York Times, the Universal, The Star Tribune, the Penny Press and the USA Today.
