Hi Steve, Thanks for that GREAT video about an older spinet piano! Keep 'em, coming. I can't wait until you record how to take out the action... I guess, once that is done, I will be buying more parts and stuff from you soon. Best Regards. Carl Waverley, NS, Canada
Thanks Steven, I've had quite a few requests on how to take the action out of a spinet piano. That is actually one of the main reasons I got this spinet piano was to be able to demonstrate this. So the video on removing the action is coming soon. I just need to take care of the issue with the wobbly front legs first.
I'm getting a spinet piano next week that I found on a "Facebook Marketplace" post. The owner is selling it cheap, because his son is getting older and lost interest in it. I already have a piano, but it needs many repairs. I need to decide whether to keep my current piano as-is and wait until I have money to fix it or turn it into a desk. I would have two pianos in my living room, one five-foot-tall Lester "Upright Grand" built in 1907 and a Rudolph Wurlitzer Spinet. The 1907 upright needs hammer butt flange plates, hammer rail felt, some hammer butt felt and jack felts, punchings, and dampers.
Hi Christopher, If those items are the only thing the 1907 upright needs, these aren’t terribly expensive items, but with a piano of this age it’s possible that more items are needed.
Very interesting video. One suggestion. Be more specific and point to what you are talking about. For example I think you talked about three distances. The first two you only talked and I had no idea what you were referring to. The last you pointed at the thing wiggling and it made sense.
Thanks for the video - please can you explain what's going on with the pedals? I've just seen a spinet that confuses me. It's a 1960s Story & Clark. Right pedal is full sustain, central is bass sustain, and left pedal doesn't appear to have any mechanism attached, but it has that central rod dangling down which I've established should be the half-blow. No idea how it's supposed to attach, though. Looks like something's missing, but not sure what. I can't quite see from this video how the half-blow rod is attached to the pedal. I did also find several coins in it 😄
great video as always. can you put here the link to the video you mention at 9:57 about repairing the front legs? Couldn't find it. Have a good one and stay safe! Thanks

I too would love to see a video of how to take out the action!

Hi Steven,
I finally got the video completed on how to remove the action on a spinet piano. Here is a link: ruclips.net/video/ye9ePiNuhb4/видео.html

There should be an eye screw screwed into the hammer rail for the top of the rod to go up into.
@howardpianoind Or sometimes the rod pushes up directly under the bottom of the hammer rail.

I don’t think I ever got around to making that video.
Are the juts / pins where the brass strings turn a corner ever a concern? Would they break off if it has signs of corrosion?
Yes, there is some risk in the strings breaking if there is corrosion on the strings.
@@howardpianoind Is it reparable? Maybe just drill a new one?
It sounds like you’re referring to the bridge pins. These don’t usually break, but they can come loose. They can be repaired if needed.
