<HTML>The Kimball Petite was probably the worst grand ever manufactured in this country. It's no wonder that Kimball went out of business. Like you said, it was taller than is was long, and it was almost impossible to tune. A few years back, I was a professional pianist and tuner, and I had to put up with one of these monstrosities for about two years, and believe me it was sure hard on the ears. Just thought I'd add my two cents. Roy Czekay Milwaukee, WI</HTML>
