spinets

[Ron Nossaman]

Hi Mickiel,

It's not as bad as you think... it's much worse. The Baldwin Acrosonic (if
that's what you tuned) was one of the best spinets made. We have plenty of
others to chose from over here, ranging from worse, through much worse, to
utterly hopeless. They sell because they're relatively cheap. To a lot of
people, a piano is a piano, the only difference between them is the price
and the color of the case. May you go another six years before you have to
tune another one.
