Harpsichords
I make a wide range of single and double manual harpsichords after historical models, built according to traditional methods. Dedicated craftsmanship ensures that they attain the highest levels of quality. All parts are hand-finished, and the precision with which the mechanical parts are made ensures a sensitive touch.
