For what it's worth I have a 1925 5'8" Vose.  I got the piano at auction in
1990.  It has stood up to 13 years of very hard from students and myself
(before my playing career was ended by rheumatoid arthritis).  The piano is
a real workhorse but seems to have a most unusual scale and is rather
difficult to tune.  The cabinet is beautiful but I'm most impressed with the
piano's stamina.  The action is very responsive and uniform.
