square pianoHello. I am familiar with this exact model piano. I service =
two of them, and have done extensive work to one of them. Both mine were =
manufactured in the 1930s also. The design of the spinet grand is very, =
very different from the square grands of the 19th Century. The spinet =
grand is actually basically the same as a normal modern grand, but only =
kinda bent and angled and squished. The 19th Centruy square grand was =
fundamentally different in almost every way, except that the strings =
were horizontal.

What else can I tell you. I'm happy to provide whatever info I can. I =
just tuned one of them today!

  The "square" grand ceased production in the 1880's. I'm forwarding =
your message to the prestigious "Pianotech List" for comments from =
anyone more knowledgeable than myself.

    Hi,

    I found your site when I typed in "square piano" on my Earthlink =
search service.  I wondered if you might be able to shed some light on a =
puzzle of mine:  I bought a Mathushek "Spinet Grand" piano a few weeks =
ago at a local (Phoenix, AZ) piano shop, and from the serial number on =
the soundboard I was able to find out that the piano, a square, was =
manufactured in 1936--or so says Pierce's Piano Atlas.  But this seems =
strange to me, that a square piano was built in 1936.  Are you aware of =
such a thing?  I would greatly appreciate any help you might be able to =
provide in making this matter clearer.  Thanks.

    Yours sincerely,
    Joseph Sophy=20
