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.

We bought a rare antique Story and Clark piano/Lowry organ combination that Jay rescued and restored and couldn't be happier. Jay educated us about how the piano/organ works, how we can tune the organ, and offered his ongoing support should we need it. He even included a higher bench (due to an old shoulder injury) and delivered the piano almost two hours away. Communication, service, and knowledge were great from start to finish—plus Jay's just a whole lot of fun to be around.

We highly recommend Jay, he deserves more than 5 stars. He had a great selection of spinets and helped us pick the perfect one for our family. He was very responsive answering questions every time I called. He was extremely reliable delivering as promised, just in time for Christmas, even on the coldest day of the year in sub-zero temps and snow covered roads! When my novice pianist is ready to upgrade to the next level of piano I will be making my first call to Jay for sure! Thanks Jay, for letting me give my daughter the surprise of a lifetime!

Jay has been amazing to work with at our lesson studio. He took some of our highly used pianos off our hands, and we were able to upgrade another piano at a great price! His delivery team was easy to work with, and we are very happy with all our interactions with Jay and the Pianos for Humanity team. Thank you!

If you're looking for an affordable piano or piano services, look no further. Jay is an absolute delight to work with – reliable, responsive, knowledgable, the pianos are top quality, and you won't find better prices in the area. I purchased a 1912 Steinway upright which Jay had personally restored to impeccable condition, including repairing all mechanical issues & a new paint job / wooden decal that just look incredible (seriously, check out the photo). I am absolutely blown away by the sound, touch, and feel of this 100 year old piano, it's one of the best pianos I've ever played.

Fabulous experience! In February we bought a Wurlitzer Spinette for our daughters who had been taking piano lessons for about 2 years. They had outgrown the keyboard on which they learned. Jay made the experience fun and made sure the piano we chose was a good fit for our family. The delivery was fast and and efficient. We are loving hearing music fill our home!
