hinge away. Can't remember but I think I've only seen 1 or 2. Took me forever to
figure out how to open it. Maybe I'm wrong, anyway, a very pretty old piano, I
love it. And no, I don't want to buy it.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Tom,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My experiences are similar to yours. Among the 40
or 50 year old crappy little spinets that permeate the piano world, I would
rate the Baldwin Acrosonic as the #1 least bad crappy little spinet, and the
Wurly at #2.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ahhhhhh, the stuff (some) dreams (and some
nightmares) are made of......... circa 1948? Wurly.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Here in Illinois, home of the mighty Wurlitzer factory in Dekalb, I
tune quite a few Wurlies, and whereas I could not include them among the
elite pianos of the world, I find very few with loose tuning pins, and
they're ALL over 20 years old. I find the Wurlitzers to be sturdily
built little war horses, many of which are still bringing musical pleasure
to their owners. <BR><BR>I'm not saying that you won't have to tune
past the false beats in the treble, but then, name another spinet of that
era that is any better? I'd much rather tune a Wurly than a
Gulbransen, Janssen, Starck, or Betsy Ross. (Flame suit on---go
ahead---hit me!)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Perhaps out on the East coast you don't see that many Wurlies.
Around here there as common as grass. <BR><BR>Oh...you don' t have
much of that in NYC, either.</DIV>
