For those who want to know, the Bosendorfer Grand Piano is built in
Austria. It is 9 foot 1 inch long, about the same length as a Steinway
Concert Grand It has an extra range down to F0, 92 keys. You know
those lower six keys on a piano few players use? This one adds four
more that are seldom used.
