Hi Ed,

       I measure approx. 48 and 1/4 inches A0 to C8 on my Kawai KG-2D.

Greetings, 
In a post on the piano-L ( a player's list),  there has been some discussion 
about varying widths of keyboards.  The majority of posters feel that the 
Yamaha's and Kawais and Steinways have different size keyboards, and also, 
different sized key widths.  Does anybody know the figures for any of the 
various brands of pianos?  
   I will measure several here, but am still recovering from shoulder surgery 

and am not quite up to an energetic survey at the moment. 
  One post was: 
<< I have identified the inconsistencies in the widths of black keys between
various brands and am sure that the industry has now acquired a 'standard'  >>


What is the standard width of a piano keyboard?  I have two here at the shop, 

a 1894 A and a 1919 O, they are both exactly 48  5/16" from A1 to C88.
