Is this true? Below is a photo of a 1913 M&H 52-inch (132 cm) upright back and rim = assembly with a faux (but true-to-size) Baldwin M 5' 2" (156 cm) grand = rim clamped so that the grand belly rail overlies the corresponding = upright rim area. In this case you can see that the upright belly is = maybe five centimeters longer than the grand. If you are trying to compare piano sizes, I should think belly length = would generally be a better indicator of piano size rather than string = (speaking) length - that just gets you into that marketing-driven piano = design crapola. So I would estimate that a 121 cm (48") upright would be similar in size = to a 148 cm (4' 10") grand. Terry Farrell ------=_NextPart_001_002A_01C5C5CC.0D2ADBC0 An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
