I have one customer with a Yamaha spinet from the 70's. It is the only
Yamaha spinet I have ever seen. It is a wonderful instrument, very
reminiscent of an Acrosonic, complete with the irritating fallboard
design and the wooden assembly instead of wire stickers. It still sounds
great, and even though I hadn't tuned it in four years, it was as sharp
today as if I had tuned it earlier this year.

Question: are these made today? If not, why were they discontinued? Would
that all spinets were this nice.
