<DIV>Hi, David -</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The Conover will probably be a good solid piano of quite conventional
construction. At Michigan State - 40 years ago! - we had a Conover concert
grand in one of the practice rooms. (Perhaps it's still there.) It
was a real favorite among the piano majors, although it was utterly overwhelming
for its small room. That's the only 9-footer I've ever seen. A
couple of 6-footers have come through our shop over the years.</DIV>
