Julia, Larry Fines book has a few pages on identifying Steinway models. Gives the length, # of bass notes ,shape of bass bridges etc. The B from 1872-1884 is listed at 6'8" but yours doesn't seem to fit. Easy solution is to call Steinway in N.Y. Ask for Margaret in customer service and give her the serial # .If you get voice mail don't leave a message --- call back a little later until you get her in person. She will tell you the model, finish and dates of manufacture and where shipped. 1-800-366-1853 Tom Driscoll _____ From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of KeyKat88 at aol.com Sent: Thursday, September 24, 2009 12:42 PM To: pianotech at ptg.org Subject: [pianotech] Steinway models Greetings, How does one tell the model of an older Steinway if there is no letter on the plate? The serial # goes back to 1893 date of manufacture and there is no letter. How do you tell a model O from a B? Piano measures about 6'-6" from rim to front edge.
