1956 Grinnell Bros 39" Satin Black Spinet Piano

This 1956 Grinnell Bros spinet is a compact 39" piano that has been fully refurbished on the inside and refinished on the outside in a satin black cabinet.

Grinnell Bros was a well-known American piano company, and pianos from this era were built to be solid, functional home instruments. This one has been updated both mechanically and cosmetically to give it a fresh, usable second life.

On the inside, the piano has gone through a full refurbishment process. That includes action servicing, regulation, alignment, and mechanical work throughout to ensure consistent playability. With spinet pianos, proper regulation is especially important due to the drop action design.

What I like about this Grinnell Bros spinet:

• Compact 39" design — fits easily in smaller spaces
• Fully refurbished for reliable basic performance
• Clean, consistent touch after regulation
• Satin black cabinet — modernized appearance
• Practical option for light, casual use

As with every piano in my shop, it has gone through final prep—regulation refinement, voicing, and tuning to A-440—so it’s performing as well as it can within its design.
