> Hi Everyone,
>    When dealing with customers about grand pianos, I have two questions:
> When someone  says to me, I have a grand  piano that is 6 foot, 1 inches, 
> etc. where do they measure to get those figures?
> The second question is: is the term "baby grand" just a commercial 
> product-selling term (like upright grand which has no meaning)
> with a specific length, or should we talk to our customers about small 
> grands, and large grands?
>
> Thanks for your help.
