I was not aware that piano design was exclusive to Steinway & Sons.

What strikes me about this bringing back the A and reintroducing the O is that
apparently the last capable scale designer died in 1930.  While the S came out
after his death, it was patterned after the O/L as we know.  I guess you just
had to be born in an odd-numbered century to be a good piano designer.  Maybe
someone born in the 21st century will design a good piano if pianos are still
around when he/she is old enough to design one.

   And O is for "O" my what er they doing away with the L for?
 Dale

Aw shucks, with the re-introduction of the A & O, there goes Joe
Bisceglie's line (I believe it was his line, anyway) about the models...

S is for small
M is for medium
L  is for large
B  is for big
D  is for damn big
