Ok, so I got out my tape measure:

- Steinway Model L Grand (circa 1929) - 33.5 inches
- Roland XP50 - 32.875 inches
- AN1x - Same as Ed's

Ed, you'll notice that I am using decimal's with my inches out of
deference to the Systeme Internationale people amongst us ;)

I guess there's more variability than I expected. And the Roland is
small, though larger than the Yamaha. I wonder how the 88 key
controllers stack up (Fatar, KX88 etc.) ?

Cheers,
