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.

			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
