If we consider the pitch of a' - 415 Hz, I suspect that Denzil would  
agree that 29.5 cm is "long", since he says in the article (quoted by  
Andrew) that a c'' of  30 cm is to be strung in iron.

I wonder if there is any evidence of anything longer than this,  
antique or modern, that would possibly work reliably...
