I think a great deal of confusion stems from the fact that small pianos, of any flavor, are aimed at the budget-conscious market, hence there were more poorly made examples of spinet than contemporary larger form factors. They will necessarily have less bass than a larger instrument, but so what? Does anyone say that violas stink because they lack the punch of a cello? Yeah, I thought not. There is great debate on the topic of spinets, but the actual instruments needn't sound bad. ![]() Some argue they're the only kind of piano that sounds worse than a spinet, but they do have a more "correct" key feel. A spinet is the smallest type of upright.Īlso, "small baby grand" is a redundancy a baby grand is by definition the smallest type of grand. I would like a Studio Upright, but hey, you can't have everything.Ĭorrect. I have a 1952 Wurlitzer Spinet( Wurlitzer was actually the one who invented the 36' spinet for the mass market), and it sounds nice. ![]() Spinets aren't too bad, just watch who out for who made it. If a spinet piano was good enough for the great jazz pianist Bill Evans, then nothing more needs to be said.
