In reply to BusyLizzie:
Is the spinet just for fun, or are you a professional musician?
I remember having a quick play on a spinet when I was about 12 when I was a choir boy and practicing for the St Matthew's passion, and really being entranced by it.
I almost bought a double manual harpsichord on ebay a few years ago, but realised that it might be hard to find a space for it, and it would have made a large dent in my finances. Instead I am wondering about a Stage 3 Nord keyboard, which will be nothing like, but have a lot of great flexibility.
Ultimately, though, I am a piano man, and would love to have the money to buy a really expensive piano, such as a Fazioli or a Steinway, but I remain in dream state...
