Hello Phil,


      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.

Regards=20
Jack Wyatt     =20
