<BR><BR> There are TWO "Quarter Grand" =
Chickering.
<BR>One is a 5'' 8'' with very thin cheek blocks. <BR>this is the =
"121"
scale "Quarter Grand". <BR>it has 9 single bass strings and 10 =
double
unison <BR>bass strings. Also has 6 triple unisons of wound =
<BR>strings
in center section. The 121 is a very <BR>unforgiving piano and =
very
unpredictable. <BR> As a note of interest, the "Starr" =
Piano Co.
built <BR>an exact copy of the "121". It was not a good =
<BR>piano
either <BR> The "135" scale =
"Quarter
Grand" is a 5"3' this <BR>is a good quality and very =
forgiving
piano. <BR><BR> Regards, <BR> Jack Wyatt</FONT>
