Spinet Pianos
The spinet piano is the smallest of the vertical pianos. It looks similar to the console because they are close in height. The main difference is the location of the action within the piano case. The spinet has what is called a dropped action, which means the action is below the level of the keys.
Because the action is below the keys, drop stickers or lifter wires are used to attach the keys to the action. These drop stickers make repairing the actions a challenge because technicians have to reach between the stickers to access the action part. Sometimes it even involves removing the entire action to make the repair.
