Harpsichord after Johannes
Ruckers (1624)
|
|
This instrument is a copy of a harpsichord
formerly in the possesion of the Marquis de Sade and now in the
Unterlinden- Museum in Colmar / France. It received a major rebuild in France
around 1700, when two new keyboards and extra strings were fitted, giving it a
compass of GG-AA to d3. This brought it up to date for the keyboard music of the
period. During that reworking of the instrument the case wasn`t altered at
all, whereas in many other cases of
modernising Flemish harpsichords in France,
the case was extended in the
treble. Obviously, the builder, who did the work, was very anxious not to change
the sound at all.
The same instruments as single manual version (left picture)... Disposition: 8` 4` 8` , |

Clavichord after Christian
Gottlob Hubert (1771) |
|
The original is kept at the Germanisches Nationalmuseum
Nürnberg; it is unrestored and the lid and legs are missing. The lid of my copy
is based on surviving lids of other Hubert clavichords and the legs are copies
of an instrument from the same
period.
