Piano World Home Page Forums Our Most Popular Forums Piano Forum How Many Old White Spinets Can Fit in an Elevator?

Just a montage of recent topics!

The # of angels dancing on a pin divided by the number of keys on a Bösendorfer Imperial? 😁

Too many, LOL.

It depends on little green men playing them in the elevator?

Depends on how long it is before the shredder breaks! (Just kidding! I appreciate anyone who gets a piano, especially when it is a financial strain.)

Do they have to be tuned up?

Who the spinets or the little green men ?

The spinets need to be reconditioned and the little green men need to be refurbished !

Would "Going up" count as a pitch raise?

To each other? Or just in general?

If they passed your floor, would the doppler effect be perceptible?

I wanted to add something about condition, but there's a limit to the length of the subject line!

I have just been told that the Bosendorfer spinets are all cracked and the little green men have lost their tuning forks ! Shsssss do not tell piano buyer !

All of them (there are no remaining old white spinets)?

Well there is a theory (RPT ) that it is the little green men who are cracked because the spinets stole thier tuning forks (and whatnot? )

This also ties in with the thread about whether a floor will support a piano.

I regularly use a lift at a Shopping Centre, generally 2 or 3 people with shopping trolleys only - but this lift has a sign which says that the capacity is a ridiculous number of people - then give a Kilogram level. We've had some random conversations about the average weight of a person in the lift - less than my weight and I'm about average (I think it works out at 68kg/person - which I'd like to be down to again - that's what I was when I was 17 yrs old).

Back to pianos. I guess, could we guess that a spinet is the weight of about 1½-2 people. My suspicion is that floor area will be the restricting factor.

White - yes, could make a difference - maybe would need a "specialist white piano removalist" to endure that number of white pianos.

Too many

One at a time in the beginning, but once you get them up to the roof and throw them off, you can squash more of them into a smaller space.

Really guys! If you owned a spinet piano, would you appreciate these disparaging comments about the piano you own? Of course you wouldn't! We have runoff many spinet owners here because of this kind of an condescending attitude. You may be amused, but if you owned one, and loved learning to play, you would be disheartened.

Please think about it.

Sorry, dogperson, I didn't start the thread to make fun of spinets--and hope no one is taking it that way--just to gin up a silly topic, in a "delivered by clowns in white Volkswagons" sort of way.

In fact, I've been considering getting an upright for a small "parlor" room at the front of the house, and have even considered a spinet.
