It looks to be between 6'0" and 6'6"? Its interesting to see another older scale layout where the designer has had the courage to make the last plain wire E32. Some of the 'modern' designers could benefit by considering such possibilities. The trichord covered tenor section might better have been done as bichords from D#31 down, but nevertheless it is a vast scaling improvement on some of the dreadful 'modern' six foot grands with the lowest plain wire on note B27. Spurious plate strut resonances would be well under control with this design also. I note also that the low end of the tenor bridge and high end of the bass bridge has been placed equidistant from the perimeter of the board. Some of the 'new breed' wide bodied grands, with their somewhat ordinary crossovers, leave much to be desired in this respect. Will you be rebuilding this piano Del? If so I look forward to hearing your impressions of its sustaining qualities post rebuild.
