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.

  • Very happy with my purchase! Don't waste your time looking all over Facebook for a used piano. Jay took all of the work out of buying a piano. He has a large selection of pianos to choose from. Also, he delivered our piano only a few days after buying it and for a very reasonable price.

  • Rockin Jay is the best! He gave a very fair price that included tuning and moving/delivering the piano to my home in Denver. He is really passionate about pianos and even came back to refine the tuning and teach me how to do it. The piano is everything I wanted. Thanks Jay!

  • Jay is an amazing musician and technician! He brought our 100 year old baby grand back to life. Affordable and he goes the extra mile... all the way to Littleton from Lyons! He took the extra time it needed to make our baby sing! Thanks Jay!
