The materials used to build our harpsichord are generally similar to the materials traditionally used by the different schools. In particular, the materials are similar to the original instrument used as point of reference. The base of our modern harpsichord building is the respect for antique procedures of execution, that have been researched and studied during the restoration of many original instruments.

Cypress, fir, oak and durmast, and other precious woods such as boxwood and ebony, are seasoned for at least 25 years while the soft essenze are seasoned for at least 10 years. This is to assure maximum stability and sound quality, and above all to obtain a rich and refined sound from the beginning.

On request keys, of any of our instruments, may be covered in bone, for diatonics, or in ebony, for chromatics.
Simple decoration, without ornamentation, is included in the price listed. More complex decoration or paintings on the inside of the lid, if requested, shall be agreed upon with the client.

Normally we supply modular support, but at the request we can supply antique style support.
