<br><tt><font size=2>I didn't measure the piano, but it is bigger than
5 feet, probably under 6 feet. It appears to be a piano worth some
attention as it is mostly in good condition otherwise. It has been
refinished, so it is beautiful, at least as furniture goes! It hasn't
been tuned for years and is generally only about 5 cents off.<br>
