Main Difference between the Spinet and others

The hammers are the same size in ALL 4 piano styles.  The Spinet Piano keys will PULL up the hammers to strike the strings.  In the larger pianos, the keys will PUSH up the hammers to strike the strings.

Because the soundboard of a Spinet is the shortest of the piano family, the ‘hammer action’ is lowered to fit inside the piano and therefore the hammers need to be leveraged differently than they are in the larger brothers.

 

Notice, all the hammers are the same size, but it's where they are placed in relation to the size of the soundboard making the difference being the spinet keys PULL up the hammer action while the others PUSH up the action hammers.

  • Jay really has a great thing going! There are lots of pianos on many different listings, but Jay takes the gamble out of finding a good one for a reasonable price. He knows his pianos and makes sure he delivers one in good working condition.

  • Jay is awesome! I’ve been looking to add a piano to our home for a while now and I had to find Jay to help me with it. He absolutely loves pianos and he is tremendous help when it come to finding a piano.

  • Jay is extremely rude and hostile. We were looking into a piano for a friend's birthday, and all of our questions were answered with hostility and mockery. We simply wanted to know what his services were, what selection, and if he partnered with movers or tuners for his rescues. We loved the idea of buying a piano that was restored and unwanted in someone else's place. We love supporting local, but we will never buy here.

  • Pianos for Humanity is a top notch company. The owner is very passionate about pianos and only sells the best quality pianos at an affordable price. We had been looking for a piano for years and we were so blessed to find a piano of the quality for the price we purchased it at. We cannot recommend this company enough!

  • We LOVE our new piano! Jay was wonderful & quickly delivered the piano with no trouble at all. He checked the tuning & even played us a little Billy Joel. Highly recommend Pianos for Humanity & we look forward to loving our piano for years to come. Thank you, Jay!
