Spinet Gem Traditional
An enchanting and musically exciting little instrument with its square casework cheeks, styled music stand and turned legs, in either a painted or timber finish. Pure bird quill plectra is used for its unique sound although we offer the choice of leather or plastic plectra as an alternative.
Spinet Gem Traditional with tapered legs & sloping cheeks.

Both the Gem Spinet and the Gem Traditional Spinet are the smallest 8' pitch, full 41/2 octave (54 note) spinets made in the world today. The combination of the skillfully designed convex soundboard, lightweight bridge and adaptable Hugh Craig Jack (View Jack & Jack Parts) all contribute to make this spinet musically rewarding and easy to maintain. Its practical size and easy removal of the four legs enables ease in transportation. Our Options list offers a range of alternative selections for a more personalised instrument.
