Hey all,

After reading the Steinway model posts, I had to go take another look at =
my "A"--6' 2", made in 1914 (according to its serial number).  It didn't =
quite fit the information given below, but does fit nicely into the info =
given at the link above.  One thing for sure, it really kicks!   It's a =
joy to play--now if I could just find someone to tune it.  ;-)=20

        The Steinway you speak of is a
  " round tail A " slang !!  with 85 notes.
   It has a  "hook"  bridge that carries two =20
  two string and seven three string unisons=20
  all wrapped.
      =20
      Many believe that this  was the piano=20
  that "made"  Steinway.  Its, production began
  in 1878.  The first of the 88 note models
  were built in 1892. =20

       The "Square" tail  A,s  without the hook=20
  bridge began production in 1896/97. This
  A was discontinued in 1913.

        In 1913 the 6'4"  A  was put into=20
  production then discontinued in 1947.=20

      As a side note many, including me, think=20
  this was  a mistake a  bad mistake. =20
  The 6'4" A is now being built in Germany.
