Steinway scale

[Richard Brekne]

Actually Terry... as it happens... unless you are privy to Steinways 
archives I doubt seriously you can give Michael the specs he asked for. 
There was really no O, or L, or M in that period. The basic 180 length 
was experimented with quite a bit and several scales were tried out that 
fit the basic length until 1913 I believe.  After that the O, L, and M 
were settled on and released as such. Previous to that they were simply 
labeled as "Miniature".

This claim is based on having just gone through a 2 month long process 
identifying the proper (read original) bass scale for a 1910 miniature.  
I would be delighted if list folks can augment the information I 
gathered in that process with other facts, figures...etc.

Cheers
