<tt>>Good question.</tt><br>
<br>
<tt>Also, Why are Steinways S,M,L,A,B,D, K,1098? etc? Maybe
"quarter-grand"</tt><br>
<tt>was a marketing buzz word??</tt><br>
<br>
<tt>Or, maybe they knew that would be their future worth!</tt><br>
<br>
<tt>PW</tt><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<tt>My dad spent some time at the Steinway factory, thus was able to explain
the current Steinway grand designations to me; S, M, L, B, D= Small,
Medium, Large, Big and Damn Big. Never again have trouble rememberig the
designations...</tt><br>
