Oops! forgot to sent to all! I told Lim that we need to have the serial number. That will tell all. If the S.N. puts it past 1900, then it most assuredly will be a Spinet Grand, as Jack is saying.

Now I am confused. According to Terry(did I get it right) a spinet grand have the tuning pins along the front of the plate but this piano the tuning pins are at the back of the plate. On my next visit hopefully I can take more photos.

All, With close scrutiny of the action, (of Lim's photos " Square Grand?"), Jack is right! It is a Spinet Grand and not A Square Grand. Although, both were made by the same company, the difference is in the fact that the Spinet Grand is smaller than a Square Grand ...And, the action has a modern wippen in it, for the Spinet grand. If we would have seen a side view of the action, we would have had less confusion. The Spinet Grand has a much more balanced tone, from end to end. (still not even close to ideal tho<G>) As for the stature criteria for Lim, it would still be a bit hard on the back, but doable. Terry, you, too, were correct! <G> I was not.
