The piano is being shipped at this time so I will remeasure when it arrives. I do realize that this information might be an urban folk legion, and hearing it from various sources does not make it true, however, a 6' 7” Kimball that measures approximately 7' 1" does seem a little strange.
As a result there were some Kimballs that were really Bosendorfers.
Occasionally a grand larger than 6'7 was required but their agreements did not allow for any name exposure other than Kimball. They apparently furnished pianos to a large number of music events for exposure. I have been told that Kimball pianos in their last years did not have the jigs to make anything larger than a 6'7 in their USA facility. Kimball cherry French style baby grand piano with bench 68-1792 - brass top caps and casters - lift-top piano bench with tufted seat (stains on seat. That would make it an awfully long 6' 7". Is the harp design on the 200 significantly different or just shorter? Also, the length of Kimball is about 7' 1". I have played on a 214 and as I remembered it the harp did look like the Kimball. I went to the Bosendorfer web site and it is difficult to tell anything from their limited pictures.
