That's good to know - that there are different key widths. That information
would come in handy for those setting up concerts with different artists,
with different hand sizes. But then, what is 3/8 of an inch divided by 88?
Probably most pianists wouldn't notice.

What about the 7/8 scale keyboard, created by Bosendorfer and Kimball for
Cynthia Wood in California, pictured in the 1997 PTGF calendar on the
October page? Was that 7/8 of 48" or 48 3/8"?
