When I had my Mason A for sale, a piano prof from a college said he liked 
everything about the piano, except it just didn't have that 7' bass sound. I 
am not a piano player either, but there is something about the bass sound of 
a 7', that just can't be duplicated in anything shorter than that. 

Someone on the list made a similar comment. From about middle C, or there 
about, there really isn't much difference in string length and sound between 
a short piano, (5'6"), and a large grand. It is in the bass that bigger is 
much better.

PS, I have a 7' Baldwin, all ready to go, with a very big bass sound, and a 
terrific treble sound. I will deliver it free anywhere. Asking $25,000, but 
will consider a good offer.
