Spinet

Japanese: スピネット
Spinet
A type of keyboard instrument. It is in the same family as the harpsichord, but is smaller and simpler, and some do not have legs. The name comes from the Latin "spina" (thorn, needle), and there is one string for each key, which is plucked with a nail attached to the end of a jack (a stringing mallet). There are rectangular or irregularly shaped (such as a pentagon) instruments with strings stretched on both sides from the player's perspective, and triangular ones with strings stretched at a 45° angle toward the back. It became popular for home use in the 17th and 18th centuries. → Virginal
