Hello Robin H and Ron O,

Thanks for all that juicy information you supplied. Seems that this =
Steinway has turned out to be sneaky in more ways than one.

The piano is in fact round tailed and measures 6' from outer rim to edge =
of keyboard, slightly longer if measured with the top down.

I must say that I was impressed with the sound and the extreme power of =
this instrument when I played it, even though it was over a century old =
and with the original soundboard albeit with zero downbearing and a =
compression crack.

One keeps reading about the back-scale. What ratio of back-scale to =
speaking length makes for a good back-scale design?


Regards
Alan Forsyth
