Thanks David... I'll re-measure the length on friday when I go back to check out a few other things. But this things serial number puts it a 1910, which I guess means its a pre - M model. On the cross bar connecting the two lowest plate struts it has stamped in and painted in black "Miniature" but otherwise there is not much help. Rounded off ends (just outside the cheek blocks) instead of the squared ones would usually indicate a Hamburg instrument... but I'm not so sure in this case. I can take a few pics I suppose.This is the only time I've run into one of these so any info anyone has would be appreciated Cheers RicB Ric: The first model M was 5'6" introduced in 1912. In 1914 they introduced a 5'6-3/4" M and in 1918 the current 5'7" M. Steinway measures from the end of the tail to the front of keybed.
