Franco Barucchieri, Florentine born lover of antique baroque
music, has dedicated many years to researching the harpsichord. In
spite of the time committed to his professional activity, his
technical and scientific formation has pushed him to continue his
research in museums and private music instrument collections in all
of Europe. He makes in depth studies of surveys on existing
literature on the topic. In 1974 Mr. Barucchieri decided to apply
his knowledge together with his already practised manual ability and
to begin building his first harpsichord. He has been definitively
and emotionally involved in this activity ever since. He has hence
built many instruments for professionals, conservatories and music
schools, music associations in Italy and abroad. He has completed
numerous restorations of antique harpsichords widening and fine
tuning his knowledge.
