5' sounds like 7' grand

Here is a reason to come to the annual PTG convention in Providence.  The
new piano bridge invention will be making its first public appearance for
piano technicians and the piano industry.  C.A. Geers & Company will be
bringing a Wapin modified piano for the Piano Showcase.

To get an idea how exciting this is link to the site below to download a
recording of a 5'2" Baldwin M, made in 1975.  All the parts are Baldwin.
The soundboard is original. The only departure is naturally, Wapin. This
file is about 900K it is an 8-bit mono wave file.  This piano clearly sounds
bigger than five foot.
