Spinet Gem

This delightful and fully portable keyboard instrument is quite remarkable not only in its lively sound quality, reliability and tuning stability, but we can claim it is the smallest 8' pitch, full 41/2 octave (54 note) spinet made in the world today.

The fold-down lid flap with its twin hinging is aesthetically pleasing for both lid playing positions. A well designed, craftsman-built instrument.

Never before has a spinet been offered with the unique features of a convex soundboard, lightweight bridge and the adaptable Hugh Craig Jack. View Jacks & Jack Parts. The list of Options provides a selection of personalised alternatives for an even more individual instrument of your choice. The easy removal of the four legs allows this little versatile instrument to be conveniently stored or transported in the smallest of cars.
