Question: what is the difference between an upright piano and a spinet?
Answer: A spinet piano is a very small upright piano. ... Pianos 40″ and shorter are spinets, 41″ – 44″ tall are consoles, 45″ and taller are studio uprights. The tallest studio uprights (48″+) are often called professional or upright grands. A spinet has a different kind of action than better pianos.
