Spinet De-Luxe

One of the most popular of our instruments, this portable spinet has an exciting brilliance of sound not expected from an instrument of this size. The skillful designing of the convex soundboard, with its long phosphor-bronze strings, the finest high tensile steel strings...
...and the lightweight convex bridge with floating area, all contribute to the production of an impressively rich and even tone throughout the whole range. The four and a half octave keyboard is sufficient for most baroque and earlier solo and accompanying keyboard music, and the two lid-playing positions are a great advantage for solo or continuo performances. Our list of Options suggest alternative casework finishes to suit all tastes. Leather or Delrin plectra can be inserted in the Hugh Craig designed Jack. View Jack & Jack Parts. The four detachable legs allow this portable spinet to be easily transported whether for use in concert halls or in the home.
