Spinet Bentside

This attractive Hugh Craig Bentside Spinet is a fully traditional harpsichord not only in its casework, frame and soundboard, but has a tone quality reminiscent of its fine predecessors.
A deep resonant bass gives the player the feeling of warmth while the treble has a clarity and pureness of sound only acquired by fine design, use of mature timbers in construction and care in manufacture. Not only musically rewarding, this spinet offers the player a full concert (61 note) keyboard in an early keyboard instrument of comparatively convenient size. We offer a choice of Delrin, or bird quill plectra as a standard feature on this spinet. Our options list provides further alternatives for your personalised instrument.
