介绍（中）	在英国，边角琴是最受欢迎的家用键盘乐器，因为它比大键琴占用的空间更小，维护起来也不那么复杂，而且能发出有力的音调。约翰·克兰被认为是最优秀的纺锤乐器制造商之一，但他的乐器至今只有两种幸存下来。这是他的作品的老例子，有五个八度音阶（GG-g3），自然键被乌木或染色的红木和象牙顶的凹凸重新覆盖。表壳饰有精美的贴面，镶嵌的铭牌上有一句传统的拉丁语格言，上面写着"Musica Laborum Dulce Levamen"，翻译过来就是"音乐是劳动者的甜蜜解脱"，以象牙色为盖的偶发事件，范围为5个八度，GG-g³，带支架。
介绍（英）	In England, the bentside spinet was a favorite domestic keyboard instrument since it takes up less room than the harpsichord, is less complicated to maintain and produces a powerful tone. John Crang was considered to be one of the finest makers of spinets, but only two of his instruments survive today. This is the older example of his work and has a five octave range (GG-g3) with natural keys re-covered with ebony or stained rosewood and ivory topped accidentals. The case is beautifully veneered and the inlaid nameboard has a traditional Latin motto that reads "Musica Laborum Dulce Levamen" and translates as "Music is a sweet relief for labors." Technical description: Cross-banded case of mahogany and rosewood decorated with lighter stringing, hardware of engraved brass, natural keys (re-) covered with ebony or stained rosewood, accidentals capped with ivory, range 5 octaves, GG-g³, with stand.
