Flemish instruments
In the 17th Century, Flemish instruments, typified by those of the Ruckers family from Antwerp, were very highly prized. Many examples exist today - along with many modified by later makers. Originally, these instruments had a relatively small compass of around 4 octaves but, in line with the practice of the 18th Century makers, I offer versions with a larger compass up to 5 octaves.

French instruments

Towards the end of the 18th Century these rich sounding and richly decorated instruments represented the height of harpsichord making in Europe.  Most instruments have 2 manuals, a full 5 octave compass and a comprehensive range of registers.

I have studied, and have drawings of, several instruments from other countries (notably Germany, Italy and England) and would be happy to discuss requirements for these.
