Hello Laura,
It was called " Coffin Corner" Chickering used this style
more than anyone else. Their Scale 109 A-B-C were very
popular. Later they left this style, rounded off the corner and
changed the scale number the 116. These pianos were very
large and wide.
Both the Fisher and Steck built similar styles to this Knabe.
Most were players but not all.
Jack

So, was this called a "coffin tail"?
I' guessing I shouldn't to this to A440. Can't find a serial number...yet.
Art case 304 written on the plate.
