"Spinetizing": Do Your Uprights Up Right
By Vincent Wukmir

Hi folks, Here is an article in June 1964 Mechanix Illustrated on
how to "Do your upright up right".  The gentleman doing the work
in the pictures is none other than R. J. Leonard of Minneapolis --
my grandfather, or "Uncle Lenny" to others -- who had a nice business
in restyling old uprights for some years until player pianos took
over in force.

R. J. Leonard and Sons was a fixture in Minneapolis for many years.
Sons Grant Leonard of Minneapolis and Dick Leonard of San Francisco
were/are player experts.
