Spinet
Spinet - this lovely example with its six-legged stand was made in London by Stephen Keene at the Sign of the Virginal on Threadneedle Street in the 17th century. Along with the Harpsichord and Virginal, the strings are plucked by a quill or plectrum of leather. The Spinet has, however, only one string for each note. The keyboard has a compass of four octaves and two notes
