The RWC 8' English Bentside Spinet Kit. Carefully selected
seasoned timbers are used throughout so assembly can begin immediately.
'Swiss' pine for the soundboard is supplied planked, jointed and sanded to a
thickness of only 2mm. The solid walnut casework sides have pre-cut mitred
ends for accurate jointing and most importantly the bentside is supplied
pre-bent and cleverly held to shape in a special jig. Matching walnut is
planked and thicknessed for the lid. Cedar is quarter sawn for the nameboard,
jackrail and internal casework veneer and like the original, the back,
baseboard and bracings are cut from selected spruce. The wooden jacks have
holly tongues ready to be fitted and the plectra are graded in thickness for
ease of voicing. All the hardware parts, tuning pins, balance pins, hitch
pins, bridge and nut pins, brass stringing and tuning lever are included to
complete the kit.
A turned stand kit, marquetry panel kit and decorative hinge kit are
available for the English bentside spinet as optional extras.

Marquetry panel Kit for the English bentside
spinet. Re-create the original marquetry panel. Our specially
designed kit makes it easy to accomplish. This remarkable kit has all the

instruments.

the mouldings cut exactly as the original. The soundboard is prepared from
selected spruce and the wrest pins and other hardware are of an historic
pattern. The jack bodies are cut size and shape from beech with holly for
the tongues and hogs bristle springs. Both jacks and keys have to be fitted
with the lead weight provided. Also included in the kit are the materials
for an Italian rose.
A transfer sheet of gold artwork for the keywell
decoration is available upon request at extra cost. An outer carrying case
is available as an optional extra and if ordered with the kit is used for
packing the parts.
A unique gold transfer sheet especially for

instrument. This really sets the instrument apart and is exceptionally easy
to apply. It even provides the initials for any builder to be included in a
modest oval in the centre of the design. |
