Oops!! On looking again at the description and photograph in the eBay advertisement, I realise that I have misread the 32 inch measurement. The instrument is 32 inches wide at the base end, and its length from base to treble ends is 60 inches.

I apologize for having misread the advertisement, but still wish to make a couple of comments. The photograph suggests that the keys are all of the same width, but there are advantages in having a design which uses graduated key widths - namely having slightly wider keys at the base end, and slightly narrower keys at the treble end.

One undisputed advantage that the instrument does have is that the keys are made from Honduran Rosewood. It is difficult to get Rosewood today which is of the same quality which was available in the 1920's.
