Spinets

Spinet after Johann Heinrich Silbermann 1767
Date added : 2026-04-14
Made by Danny Bormans in 2001
FF – f3 (61 notes)
1 x 8′
a1 = 415 Hz
Dimensions: 189 x72 x2 2 cm, european walnut wood,
Soundboard in spruce
Ebony naturals, bone-topped pear sharps, parchment rosette, pear wood jacks with delrin plectra, red and yellow brass and Röslau iron wire strings
Decoration: body finish – oiled and waxed, screw-in turned legs, painted black
This large spinet with its original range of five octaves is suitable for high baroque compositions, particularly German.
It is ideal for chamber ensemble or as basso continuo in a smaller chamber orchestra. Its range also makes it suitable for solo performance or as a practice instrument. But has all the attributes of a top-class instrument.
The bentside (or crosswise) spinet originated in Italy but achieved its widest diffusion in Germany, France, and England.
This instrument by Silbermann is somewhat longer than the typical, thus enhancing the timbre of the bass notes, even though the actual size of the instrument is half that of a harpsichord.
Price : 7.800 Euro

Broadwood „Short Drawing Room Grand N° 2020
Date added: 2017-10-04
Built ca 1875
Serial number: 10408
Nameboard : "John Broadwood & Sons London"
Pitch: a1 = 436 Hz
85 keys: 7 octaves, AAA - a4
Parallel stringing
Length : 235 cm
Width : 137 cm
Complete in orgininal and playable state.

Keyboard in ivory and ebony.
The action is the typical English action of the 19th century, the precursor to the Erard and modern actions, as opposed to the Viennese action used by German and Austrian builders of the time. The English grand action provides a very direct and powerful connection from player to string and was favoured by Chopin for that reason.
Fnished in a tortoise-shell burl walnut, with ebony and rosewood trim.
Other distinctive features of this piano are the “lyre-shaped” pedal works, hence the reason they are now referred to as the pedal lyre, and the slim shape resembling a harpsichord more than the modern grand piano shape. The legs have a tapered shaft of hexagonal section, and has a carved capital fascia of acanthus leaves.
Location: The instrument can be seen in Leuven
Price: 11,500 EUR (transport not included)
