> C to C inclusive measured over 5 octaves:
> Yahama AN1x - 32 1/2"
> Korg 01/W Pro - 32 1/2"
> Ensoniq KT-76 - 33 7/16"
> Mehlin & Sons Upright Grand (about 100 years old, real ivory keys) -
 33 1/4"
> General Music CD10 (home type keyboard with speakers) - 33 5/16"

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,

Jerry
