They never did make "spinets" as far as I know but they did make 40"
consoles with a direct blow action.  The only pianos I've seen with
12-gague piano wire.  I was never a fan.  They dropped them from their
line quite some time ago but within my 35 years in this business.

For my information, I guess, but when did Steinway make spinets? Wasn't
aware they ever had. A gap in my education, I guess. <grin>

Does anyone know where to get steinway spinet jack springs?  Steinway
doesn't sell them anymore and the ones from Schaff don't fit.  I don't
want to drill out every hole if I don't have to.  I need a 3/4" tall
spring w/ an outside diameter of 3/16" at the bottom.  The ones Schaff
sells are 7/32"  Any info is appreciated.
