Best Grand Under 6' Was Re: Conover Grand

[Farrell]

I have a customer who is selling their piano - about a 6-foot grand. A Decker. This thing is a WWII TANK+1/2. Very few pianos I have seen as heavily built. It would be a beaut to put a Fandrich belly into.....

        Widely considered the best grand under 6' is Mason & Hamlin's claim in their liturature so when I read Jack Wyatt's email that says "It is my opinion that the  77 ranks in the top  5  5"7' 5"8's ever built.  Almost with the Chickering 145 and the M-H  A-3  thru  A-6."  I have to wonder are you leaving out 3 of the 5 or in a sense counting the M-H 4 times? (which would actually make your list 6 pianos long)  I guess another interesting topic could be so called copies.  If conover is like a Mason and Steinert like a Steinway - any other notible copies that could be considered bargins?

        I've been curious about these things for awhile and I'm glad it came up.
        Thanks in advance,
