A spinet is a small, compact type of piano with a simpler and more compact design compared to larger pianos. It has a horizontal arrangement of strings and a smaller frame, making it more suitable for smaller spaces. The spinet uses a mechanism where hammers strike the strings to produce sound, similar to other pianos. Its tone is softer and less powerful than that of larger grand pianos or uprights, but it is valued for its distinct, mellow sound and its space-saving design. Spinet pianos were popular in the 17th and 18th centuries and are often used in classical and early music.
