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.

  • My whole experience buying a piano from Jay was absolutely wonderful. I cannot recommend pianos for humanity enough. Jay clearly loves his work, is determined, and creative when it comes to moving (very heavy!) pianos into a space, and is really kind and a delight to work with. Plus he played me “happy birthday” when we got my piano inside. I’m brimming with joy. Thanks Jay for all you do! I’m totally in love with my new piano.

  • A very easy and smooth purchase from Jay. He is very knowledgeable about the piano world and the buying experience was more than amazing. He wrapped the piano perfectly and arrived on time with the right equipment to move the piano safely, we then chose the spot and he played something very nice as to introduce the piano to the home. He is the guy you need in the Colorado area!
