Cable spinet

[Alan]

You have an opportunity, if willing, to do some experiments and report to
the list things that might prove useful. For example: Will CA treatment or
epoxying in bridge pins make a noticeable difference in a cheap piano? Can
these little buggers be voiced to sound appreciably better? And, if nothing
else: How would subjection to an 1800 degree flame for 15 minutes effect
overall tone quality?

I think what I would do is clean it up, fix any problems, tune it, put an ad
in the paper, and sell it for 500 bucks to someone living outside of my
tuning area. Seriously.

Hi All,
Tomorrow I am having delivered an 80's Cable spinet to my place.  I came 
across it when tuning a piano that my client gave her piano to her daughter 
and the daughters piano is coming to me, for no cost to me. Question; What
would be your favorite things to do with this gem to make it 
better at relatively low cost?  Since it will be mine to do with as I will, 
I would like to see what can make it  better.  Could be interesting. Please,
no suggestions to refuse delivery James Grebe Piano-Forte Tuning & Repair
