That appears to be some massive bridge on that things.  How tall is it?

 Something like this then? 5ft 8 Julius Bauer.  It is very intentionally
double crowned... as its called. FWIW...this turned out to be a big sounding
parlor sized piano. Trixs cousin bought it so I still get to visit. ;)

   If memory serves there was a 15 mm crown along the belly rail. Click on

 David,
No we're not talking about the same thing.
 
   Viewed from the 
front of the bellyrail, there is a crown, meaning the bellyrail bows 
upwards forming a crown. In this small piano there is a full 11mm 
difference between the height of the bellyrail at the center and the 
height at the ends.
 
The same with the curved side and on this one, the back of the long side 
as well. If you could see through the outer rim to the top surface of 
the inner rim, these portions also are somewhat serpentine. They, are 
not in a flat plane, helping to create what has been referred to as the" 
the most important crown in the piano", ie the "crown along the length 
of the long bridge.
 
I don't agree with this obviously shaping, but that's the condition I'm 
referring to.
