Should you buy a spinet piano to save space?

No, a spinet takes the same amount of space as a taller upright piano, and the taller piano will sound better, have better touch and be easier to work on. Unless you have to put the piano under a window or wall hanging or something, you don't need a spinet for space purposes. On the other hand, spinet pianos are often nicer looking pieces of furniture than taller pianos. You need to decide what's more important to you.


What is a cabinet piano?

A console piano is one type of vertical piano. Console pianos range in height from 40 to 44 inches. This is about the middle of height range of vertical pianos. The spinet piano is the shortest and the professional piano is the tallest.


What is the name for a vertical piano?

All upright type pianos are vertical pianos. All horizontal pianos are grands. The smallest vertical is called a spinet then, console, studio and upright. There is no such thing as an "upright grand." It is just a name placed onto a piano.


Is a spinet piano good for a beginner?

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.

What is a Baldwin acrosonic piano?

A Baldwin Acrosonic was Baldwins designation for its deluxe cabinet style in it's smaller pianos. While it is true that most commonly Acrosonics were spinet pianos, Baldwin also made Acrosonic console pianos. Generally a console piano is one that is 40" or taller and a spinet is a piano that is shorter than 40" down to about 36". Most Acrosonic pianos are now over 30 years old . Back in its hay-day the Acrosonic was considered a very good piano but unless you find one that is in exceptional condition, there are much better pianos available today from makers like Yamaha, Kawai, and even some Chinese made pianos. Today's Baldwin pianos are mostly made in China with a very few exceptions.
