I bought a Baldwin piano some years ago. I had it tuned and some strings replaced. I found out the piano was not a Baldwin but a Hamilton (number 368134). No where on the piano did it state (Hamilton). WHY? What was the difference?
In an orchertra, the strings instruments are the violin, viola, chelo and the double bass. The piano has strings but it is not classified as a string intrument. It is a keyboard instrument such as the spinet, clavichord and the organ.
A spinet is the smallest upright piano
A Kimball Spinet piano weights approximately 485 pounds.
The word spinet is used in a few different ways. My old Baldwin Acrosonic piano is considered a "spinet", and has 88 keys. Spinet can also refer to other kinds of instruments, like harpsicords, that virtually never have as many as 88 keys. You need to do a little more checking, and ask about the number of keys if it is a concern.
Yes. Actually a spinet would probably be the best choice for a beginner. however, spinet pianos are lacking in many areas of a proper instrument and if the beginner starts to excel at piano, go for an upright or grand, they will do so much better for an experienced pianist. a spinet, due to short strings, will have a thin sound compared to a larger piano, the action of a spinet, due to a small area, is different from others and not as reliable. If you are looking for one, I recommend the Lester Betsy Ross spinet. Or if you find a Steinway that would be best. Spinet pianos were created to be an affordable piano that is lightweight, small, and cheap. they are rather inexpensive and will give years of enjoyment as long as they are tuned and taken care of. NEVER BUY AN ELECTRIC PIANO. they will not help you and are no good no matter the brand size or quality.
piano, organ, and the spinet
The Acrosonic piano has 88 keys and is about three and a half feet tall. The strings of the instrument are shorter in length than a standard piano, causing the tone to be higher. The Acrosonic is manufactured by Baldwin.
