Thanks Ed, I talked to a gal up there and she said it was a model A. My guess is that Steinert copied most of the Steinway scales, so Steinway thought turn around was fair play and copied the Steinert A and made the "S". It's nothing factual, just my theory. It's hard to get much info on the Steinert.
