I wonder if anyone in the know knows anything about vertical Spencer pianos made AFTER 1942 (when the orginal Spencer company ceased business I gather).
Basically,
1. where it was made? (I have suspicions the far east)
2. history and average quality, problems if known.
One of my relatives bought a piano some years back (late 80's) BRAND NEW purporting to be a Spencer. From what I know I think it may be a relatively small studio or console piano with a relatively modern 'European' minimalist design (no legs supporting the keyboard, clean lines). It's apparently in need of tuning and I suspect regulation as well.
Unfortunately I am currently err... geographically challenged and won't be able to actually see this instrument for at least a few weeks, so I can't really tell you more about serial no's. or markings (but I certainly will).
I've tried googling for it, but not much info is available out there. There certainly isn't a Spencer site or reference to anything other than the 'old' Spencer piano company.
I believe this piano is new as described to me, so the big question is who built it, where did it come from and what issues are there with it?
Thanks very much in anticipation!
