        Since I think you inquired about what pitch it was scaled for.  I think it may be 435.  My grandmother had a Cousin with a Model A Steinway from 1908 and he was convinced it was designed for 435 and tuned it to that.  I think standard pitch was set at 440 in llike 1915.  I have a 1908 upright and I tune it to 440 though.  I'd wager it can handle it.
