The Nossaman Steinway (was rebuilders..)

[David Love]

Not sure that's how it works out.  Longer keys generally give greater
control and less variation in touchweight dynamics when playing from
different positions on the key itself.

I really like smaller grands, Del, because the shorter
keys have less inertial mass to overcome, making the
actions more responsive, I believe. 
I wish you well. It is a  looooooong time since a
quality, satisfying to play, American small grand was
produced.
