Greetings all,  The inquiry about the spinetizing reminded me of my
first player: a 1924 Schultz, that had a mirror at the top of the case.
The case ends had been cut down to just above the spool box.  The top
had also been modified by decreasing the width, so it would accommodate
the mirror at the back, to rest against it.

The mirror was approximately 5 inches wide (sitting vertical) and
spanned the whole width of the piano; the top was probably 12 inches
wide.  The whole thing was deceiving: the top just butted up against
the mirror.  When tuning, the top just slid off and the mirror was
held on by two flat head wood screws that passed through the plastic
bathroom mirror daisies of the time.  The mirror had to be removed
in order to get to the tuning pins.  The piano looked slightly shorter
but something was just not right!

Fortunately, the Schultz went to another home, after a very frustrating
rebuild.  I was not aware that there was actually a kit was sold to
create such a mish-mash.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane,
John McClelland
