<DIV>Hello Phil,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> The Steinway you speak of is a</DIV>
<DIV>" round tail A " slang !! with 85 notes.</DIV>
<DIV> It has a "hook" bridge that carries two </DIV>
<DIV>two string and seven three string unisons </DIV>
<DIV>all wrapped.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Many believe that this was the piano </DI=
V>
<DIV>that "made" Steinway. Its, production began</DIV>
<DIV>in 1878. The first of the 88 note models</DIV>
<DIV>were built in 1892. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> The "Square" tail A,s without the =
hook </DIV>
<DIV>bridge began production in 1896/97. This</DIV>
<DIV>A was discontinued in 1913.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> In 1913 the 6'4" A was =
put into </DIV>
<DIV>production then discontinued in 1947. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> As a side note many, including me, think </DIV>
<DIV>this was a mistake a bad mistake. </DIV>
<DIV>The 6'4" A is now being built in Germany.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Regards </DIV>
