Looks big (?). Not that much smaller than grand?

The new 4/4 BBb uses the same bell and bows as the compensated Excelsior, so that gives you an idea of the size. It is a large 4/4 or small 5/4 depending on your criteria.

The prototype is on its way to USA for professional evaluation before we decide to go into production
