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
