How to resize slider(control-field) inside Manipulate

Question

In a very simple example

Manipulate[Plot[Sin[a x], {x, 0, Pi}], {{a, 1}, 0, 5, Appearance -> "Labeled"},ControlPlacement -> Left]

I would like to resize the size of the control-field to get smaller slider size.

How can I do that? Thanks!

@Kuba How easy, thanks! And for a list of parameters I have to do it step by step ? — Ulrich Neumann, Dec 12 '18 at 9:42

Manipulate[
  Plot[Sin[a x], {x, 0, π}], 
  {{a, 1}, 0, 5, ImageSize -> Small, Appearance -> "Labeled"},
  ControlPlacement -> Left]

Although it isn't what you asked, I think this is a much better solution:

Manipulate[
 Plot[Sin[a x], {x, 0, π}], {{a, 1}, 0, 5, Appearance -> "Labeled"}, 
 ControlPlacement -> Left, 
 ControlType -> VerticalSlider]
