I'd describe the sound of a well made, well cared for spinet as light and airy, with a nice balance of brightness and warmth. 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.
