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.https://youtu.be/22HiYy09s3Mhttps://youtu.be/JERE4XXSNk8Got the sealer coat down. Now time to dry then 2nd sanding.https://youtu.be/ao8sbnW8bvshttps://youtu.be/9AJl-YoU-UsLove this part of the restoration, putting on the nameboard decal on, it always means its not far to go until we can see this piano altogether again.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!Delivered!
