CLAVIERS BAROQUES presents...The Delin Spinet KitDesigned by Marc Ducornet and Emmanuel Danset
|
![]() |
"Our Spinet was inspired by an original instrument dated 1770, built by Albertus Delin (1712-1771) in Tournai and now preserved in the Brussels Musical Instrument Museum. We have slightly modified the original specifications to provide a 56 note keyboard which allows transposition to A440 without the loss of the top note. This model was originally intended to be only available as a finished instrument, but as we proceeded with the development of the prototypes, we found it ideal as a kit for many reasons. The ease of construction and the low price assist the first-time builder, and for a player beginning to explore the fascinating world of early keyboards, here is an instrument with good tone, pleasant touch, and a keyboard compass sufficient for perhaps more that 90% of the repertoire."
