Mozart's piano weighed exactly 100, still does, still weighs that,
because it still exists, weighs 187 pounds.
Beethoven's Broadwood piano weighs, which also still exists,
weighs about 400 pounds, more than twice as much weight, twice as much volume.

Let's review by means of a quiz.
I'll let you study for a few moments.
And then we'll talk about the answer.
