Wurlitzer Spinet
Picked this piano up a little while ago in southern Georgia. It is a family heirloom that the owner wishes to make satin ebony. While I'm doing the cabinet work I will also replace the keytops.https://youtu.be/oi4464J-p94Spinets take me more time to mask off because I don't remove the action to save from having to make extra adjustments.
Found a split in the treble side foot. Opened the crack and shimmed it with a piece of shimming material.
Ebony was a good call by the customer, a natural finish would have shown the white paint that was under the red in the grain.

The hardware had a very very light coat of brass plating which some came off during buffing.
Hardware finished and now assembly has begun.
All finished and ready to deliver!
