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.

  • Super friendly and helpful! I donated a piano that Jay will be able to fix up and sell to a good home. They came and picked it up for me. So glad to be able to pass my piano along to Pianos for Humanity.

  • Jay delivered our 100yr old upright grand piano yesterday, it is gorgeous! Then he delighted us all as he entertained us with some songs, he's so much fun! I'm grateful we found Jay. We had been looking for a piano for a while and each was either too $$$ or not in good shape. Jay is doing a great service by saving these pianos. He cleans and tunes each one. He has extensive knowledge about pianos and is willing to share all he knows. He took great care and time to explain everything to me so I could select the perfect instrument for our family. He does all this to share his love for the piano and get more pianos into homes. We could not be happier! Thank you Jay, the experience was unforgettable! We'll treasure our piano forever!

  • We were so grateful that they were willing to deliver a piano all the way down to us in Colorado Springs! It was surprisingly inexpensive for them to travel so far. They were also very kind. Jay played Charlie Brown for our kids while they danced, they loved it. Piano is beautiful. So glad we found them!

  • Jay was so helpful finding a piano! He takes the mystery out of the purchase by guaranteeing quality, tuned pianos. The delivery went smoothly and he offered his tuning services in the future!
