Alan,<br><br>From Max Matthias book <u>Steinway Service Manual</u>, he references Scales of Grand Models: note # 1 being 1454, #20 being 1024, #21 being 1272, and #88 being 49 mm. We have an "A" serial number 279282 (circa 1935) that measures comparatively. From the middle of the agraffe or V bar as in #88: #1 measures 1459, #2 measures 1026, #21 measures 1281, and #88 measures 48mm.<br><br>Henry Nicolaides<br><br><br><hr id="stopSpelling">To: caut@ptg.org<br>From: reggaepass@aol.com<br>Date: Thu, 17 Mar 2011 17:14:22 -0400<br>Subject: [CAUT] Stwy A (6' 1") speaking lengths<br><br><font color="black" face="arial" size="2">

<div><br>
</div>
<div>Does anyone have information about speaking lengths (particularly notes nos. 1, 20, 21 and 88) for Steinway model A, 6' 1" (1913). This could be information either from Steinway itself, or from observation, or even your own notion of what might work best. The project in question does not involve adding a transition bridge or rescaling, but comparing the original condition of a piano getting a new board and bridge caps with other iterations of the same model.</div>
