The French Double Harpsichord Kit

from

designed by Marc Ducornet and Emmanuel Danset

TPW

"This instrument is made in the grand tradition of the large French harpsichords of the 18th century. Inspired by the surviving instruments of Henri Hemsch, the tone of this French Double is full of colour and nuance, with a majestic bass. While the range of 63 notes (FF-g''') permits performance of virtually the entire harpsichord repertoire, this instrument is obviously the best choice for playing late French music. Disposition: 2x8', 1x4', buff." -- Marc Ducornet
