Impressive key. Perhaps someone at the factory thought the bottom was the top and cut the oval? BTW, what kind of wood is that? Doesn't look like spruce or basswood or poplar - looks more like mahogany or luan or something of that sort. I'm sure I've run across a Kincaid spinet in my wanderings - but I honestly can't say I remember :-). Are they as lovely as the "Grand" spinet (not the spinet grand)?

I was tuning away and there was this one note that kept making a knocking sound. Sure enough, the back of the keytop was hitting the keystop rail (or whatever you call it on an upright piano). Not only was it hitting the rail, but there was a huge space in front of the key. I wiggled the key fore and aft. Dang, that was the pulliest key I'd ever encountered. I removed the key and the pictures explain it. > > Barbara Richmond, RPT > near Peoria, IL > > > <oops 2.jpg><oops1.jpg> -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
