Curses! Coiled again!

[Cy Shuster]

I had a customer in WV call who said she had a "grand spinet".  I coolly 
"uh-huh-ed", and made the appointment.

Sure enough, there on the fallboard was "Grand", apparently from a 
manufacturer of that name in North Carolina in the 60's, later bought out by 
Superscope, makers of (wait for it) Marantz fine pianos.

Sounds like yours was maintained by a chain-link fence installer.
