Picking up this broken thread, I just came across the information that Cage composed at a Steinway model O. This is particularly useful information when deciphering his more detailed preparation instructions: there are a few pieces where he specifies distance from dampers or bridge within 1/16". (OTOH, there are many pieces where he is very vague about where along the string length to place the prescribed object). Obviously, the precise instructions should be modified when using a different size piano. If, as is likely, an O isn't available, L or A would be good substitutes (or 6' + or - in other makes).
