There is a "short scale" and a "long scale". Both indicate the L.O.A. is 6'4-1/2" ? Is there any way of acertaining the speaking lengths of the strings on these instruments?without trying to track them down tape, pencil and pad in hand ? ? ? LORENZO LACOVARA ?

The speaking lengths of strings are determined by the position of the plate. Before you remove the plate, you should should take measurements to make sure it goes back in the same place. Or are you looking for the scale? If there are 2 listed in Travis' book, count the number of string sizes per note, and compare it with the piano.
