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.
