	Spinet by Charles Haward, London, 1689, at the National Music Museum
		It is the second notable spinet to enter the NMM's collections, the first being the magnificent instrument by Johann Heinrich Silbermann, Strasbourg, 1785, on display in the Pressler Gallery.
		Spinets are a small form of harpsichord with the long side and strings set at an acute, not a right, angle with the keyboard side.
		The spinet, which occupies less space than the typical English virginal, is thought to have been invented by Girolamo Zenti, an Italian maker who worked in England for a year or two in the early 1660s.

	Assaf Shacham - SPINet Optical Switching Architecture (Site not responding. Last check: )
		SPINet is a photonic network architecture that utilizes the advantages of the photonic medium to overcome its limitations: Wavelength division multiplexing and bidirectional transmission are employed to support ultra-high bandwidth transmission, resolve contentions without optical buffering, and perform high speed photonic routing.
		SPINet is designed for implementation in photonic integrated circuits where packet buffering on fiber delay lines is not possible.
		Contentions are resolved by message-dropping but optical acknowledgement pulses, transmitted in the reverse direction on the established lightpaths let source terminals know whether their transmissions are successful, thus facilitating retransmissions when necessary, and effectively allowing dropped messages to appear as blocked.

	Spinet Pianos 2003
		When the piano known as the spinet type came into the market in 1935, with new engineering and styling, the public had its choice of conventional upright pianos, grand pianos of all sizes and new spinets.
		By 1941 the old vertical or "upright" piano was being turned out almost exclusively in the spinet design, and the change increased its value as a decorative piece of furniture, if nothing else: the new spinet pianos had cleverly designed, compact, console type cases from 36 to 45 inches high.
		According to the experts, the tone of spinet model pianos tends to be slight and more or less "wooden." Consequently, spinets were never recommended for purchase for serious students or by competent pianists.

		In 1936 Baldwin introduced the Acrosonic Spinet piano which was to become the largest selling piano type of all time, the single most popular instrument in the world.
		By 1941 the old vertical or "upright" piano was being turned out almost exclusively in the spinet design, and the change increased its value as a decorative piece of furniture, if nothing else: the new spinet pianos had cleverly designed, compact, type cases 36 to 38 inches tall.

	The 1690 Cristofori spinet copy
		After the discovery in 2000 of the 'missing' Cristofori oval spinet made for the Medici in a palazzo once belonging to the antiquarian Bardini, the instrument was transfered to the Galleria dell'Accademia in Florence (famous for housing the Michelangelo statue of David).
		The oval spinet is one of two very similar instruments, the other is dated 1693 and is now in the Leipsig instrument museum.
		An interresting finding is that Cristofori was very precise in the layout of the stringband of the spinet, the string lengths and plucking points correspond very closely to those of harpsichords he made 30 years later.

	Schober Spinet Organ (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Stripped of frills and flashy novelty effects, the Spinet retains the full measure of the one essential which makes organ learning and playing a source of never ending pleasure and discovery - a large complement of pipelike voices, each different from all the rest, each inherently pleasant and musically useful.
		The proof is that to get all the sound of which the Spinet is capable, you need the same type of high-quality amplifier and speaker system required for the other Schober Organs; nothing less will do.
		Typical cost for all the kits and parts needed for the Spinet Organ is $784 (which you don't have to spend all at once), but this can vary up or down depending on your console choice and method of payment, as explained in the Price List.

	HammondWiki - Spinet Organs (Site not responding. Last check: )
		A severe drawback of spinet organs compared to ConsoleOrgans is the lack of the foldback and tapering, which leads to a different sound.
		Later Spinet models, including the Aurora series (Models 82xx)built after 1975, lacked the tone wheel generator, and used instead LSI (ICs and PC Boards).
		A good way to identify a Spinet (Besides having 44 key manuals in lieu of 61) is that the manuals are offset from one another.

		We re-did a little blonde Sperrhake spinet several years back (see photo below) for a great bass recorder player who wanted to add it to his consort for when they accompany morris dancers outdoors.
		Our client happily reported that his fellow recorder players complained that the spinet was too loud (!) and requested that it be played with the lid down, and this was outside, with morris dancers.
