As a result the depth and quality of sound was compromised. This size of piano is no longer made because in order to build to the maximum height in the casework, the soundboards had to be quite small and the action also had to be very compact. However, the life can be very considerably extended by being carefully well maintained and regularly tuned.Īt 37 inches height this is classed as a small Spinet Piano. This is due to the wear during use and natural deterioration over the years of the mechanical parts, such as the action, the strings, the soundboard, the tuning pins, the pin block, etc. Generally pianos have a life in the region of 60 to 70 years unless they are restored or rebuilt.
From this maker’s records the serial number 490113 gives a build year of 1960, so it is in the order of 57 years old.
