This piano, not listed in Pierce, I guess-timate was made in the 40s, maybe 50s. I expected the worst. After all, it looked just like a Winter, Kimball, or Gulbransen spinet. But I found that this little piano had quite a pleasing tone and a suprisingly full bass. Really not bad for a spinet. And made by Sears! Whodathunk? I sold it to a guy who was buying it for his 90 year old mother for Christmas. I told him that I included a free tuning with the sale. He told me he wasn't interested because his mother was practically deaf. Tom Sivak
