1890s, Nittinger (Phila) 58.5" "Upright Concert Grand", (3/4 plate 
w/separate cap piece around pin area), free to me if I could get it out of 
a basement, tuned at least once this millenium, massive solid oak 
construction (backposts/veneer/corewood[DAMHIK]), keeps side of house down 
in a stiff breeze.
