Did you see the article by some university, where all the letters were mixed up, but the brain allowed us to read and understand the paragraph.

He asked: "I need a wood sticker for a 60' vintage Wurlitzer spinet." not "a '60 vintage Wurlitzer spinet", so I stand UNcorrected. In regards to hording, I have come across that a few times too, where you have to navigate along a trail between the leaning towers of stuff to get to the piano. I've also come across neat freaks too. One lady apologized for the mess, as I worked on the piano in her immaculate living room! We sure meet all types in this business and get an interesting peek into people's lives.

I'd like to see a picture of a 60' Spinet! Sounds like Spinetzilla! You got me, Ryan. Funny thing, though, the piano belongs to a hoarder. The place is an absolute mess. I have to move boxes from around the piano every time I go there. It's something I just can't understand. The wife works part time, but the husband is retired and just sits at the dining room table watching 2 TV's and works at his lap top computer.

This sticker is 5" long, square, that fits into the wippen at the bottom, and on top has a 2" long screw (1" into the sticker). with a nut on top that accommodates a rubber grommet, that fits into a fork on the key. I did not see it is Schaff or Pianotek catalogues.
