Hi Jack. Fun class in Arlington. Thanks. I haven't made my curved hammer =
sanding paddles yet, but I will!!!

Here is some additional info on Spinet Grand. Mfg. by Mathushek 1937, =
#86180. Size: 37" deep (keyboard to rear) by 60" wide. It has 88 keys =
(very nice set of ivory!) and normal strings, numbers, etc. as on any =
normal small spinet. I have attached several pictures in the email I =
sent directly to you Jack. I am sorry, for some reason the picture I =
took of the whole piano did not come out :-(.=20

The piano is exactly rectangular - just like a square grand from the =
1800s - only it is smaller. The action, however is completely normal for =
a modern grand, but then the bass section takes a 45 degree bend toward =
the left rear corner. The pinblock follows the action, in that the tenor =
and treble pins are all up front, like on a modern grand, but the bass =
angle back and to the left, and the lowest few are in a line along the =
left edge going back to almost the rear. This is shown in one of the =
photos. I don't know the mfg. of the action - I have not taken it out. I =
think there might be a scale number on the plate, but I did not write it =
down :-(. Is this an unusual piano?????? Maybe I can talk them into =
spending $$$ thousands $$$ to rebuild it!!!
