"Precious and Few" played on 1942 Wurlitzer mini spinet piano

[grassulo]

@retrochad that little piano sounds awesome, I'd be tweaking the tuning over a period of months till it was perfect and held it though, (horribly OCD about tuning). Man I wish I could find a spinet that tiny, it'd fit perfect in my apartment, it's gotta be a blast to play. Ever since I saw this video I've been searching for one like it, they seem to be incredibly rare.

Amazing sound for a small piano!

Beautiful Playing!

Marvelous

[Thermionman1970]

That sounds great! I like your playing ! I like when you hit those "suspended " or ninth chords That piano has a nice ring to it and it looks cool with the Art Deco style design and rounded edges .Can you play Wichita Lineman ,The Homecoming (Hagood Hardy) or Send in the Clowns?

[BBgunmaster67]

sounds nice for something so small. makes me wonder how they fit the action in that thing lol.

[grawey77]

You did well

Interesting piano, and great job on the song!

[Maxxarcade]

Sounds great! How much did it cost to have it tuned?

[retrochad]

@Maxxarcade Thank you...it was $75 for the initial tuning which included replacing one broken string, and then $80 to come back in several weeks and fine-tune it. It needed two tuning as it was so far out of tune. It really seems to be holding the tune well.

What a cute little piano! Love the late '30s/early '40s styling. Great song, too. Nicely done. :-)

[MusicMike1285]

thats not a fullsize keyboard is it?

[retrochad]

@MusicMike1285 No, it's not, it's 73 keys.

[MusicMike1285]

@retrochad if you want to hear a funny story I'll tell u one. My first piano was actually a wurlitzer. It was a black spinet and my dad actually drove into new york city to get it because someone was just giving it away because it was in a fire. I remember my dad repainted it with a broken leg, and he had my name full name painted on the music rack! But when I got my Yamaha Clavinova back in 1996, we traded that piano in. I wish I had kept it though.

Great job Chad, your truly an amazing individual, I wish I had half your talents, no wait, a quarter!

[usshackman]

You truly are a man of many talents. Great job.

[gurdyflowers]

Very nice playing and not a bad sounding spinet piano. Gary

[scotchrks]

Super song choice!! And great plaing on an old parlour piano

[mznxb9872]

Sounds great! Did the piano tuner tune it by ear? or with an electronic tuning device?

[tommee10533]

Very NICE job,LOVE the song, Chad, you are a man of many talents.

[dynamic881964]

It's amazing what a difference a tuning will make ! What is the National receiver behind you ? Is it an NC - 88 ? If so I had one and it was a great radio wish I still had mine ! Hopefully someday I will get a video camera so I can make some you tube videos of my collection and the new player piano . . .

[retrochad]

@dynamic881964 Hello, yes I think that is an NC-88, I still need to replace the capacitors. I'd like to see your videos when you make them.

[FeCr3]

You play very good!Nice little piano!

What brand is the tube radio beside the white coffee machine??

[retrochad]

@FeCr3 Thank you...that is a Graetz German radio, AM/FM/Shortwave, but I haven't begun working on it yet.

[FeCr3]

@retrochad Ah,it's really a Graetz radio! I was not sure when I saw it. I have Graetz radios too. The Corporate Headquarter was in a neighboring city from my town where i live.
