 A piano of any size can have low, moderate or high Inharmonicity depending 
on its scale design.  They can't be generalized.  However, a small piano is 
often used in a smaller room and a large piano in a large room.  The amount 
of stretch used will affect how the piano carries in the room.

Higher Inharmonicity usually does mean greater stretch is appropriate but any 
piano's tuning can be manipulated to achieve a desired effect.
