Zwicki

[Steve Pearson]

The Zwicke...ah yes, and wasn't it fun to tune?  I actually had three of these critters back when I was in private practice.  If I thought of it as if it were a grand, - I should say here I hold my hammer in the right hand on grands (and Zwickes) - & with a little practice, I got pretty good at them.  I was always grateful they didn't have a full 88 note keyboard, though.  You can only have just so much fun in on day.  Actually, one of my longest days included a Bluthner in the morning, and two Zwicke spinets after that, one of which was a pitch raise.

I tuned a Zwicki vertical the other day. I had never heard of a Zwicki.
The owner of the piano said it was a Danish piano. It was a vertical
piano that had the pinblock on TOP of the frame. I lifted up the lid, and
found the pins standing upright. It was like tuning a grand, with the
tuning lever handle facing me. I had never run into a piano like that
before. Has anyone ever seen a piano like that before?
