A Hill Franco/Flemish Double for sale, Rebuilt in 2009 A Hill Franco/Flemish Double for sale, Rebuilt in 2009

The present owner of this harpsichord, my Opus 59 made in 1979, sent it back to me for the purpose of doing any acoustical upgrades on the instrument I deemed to be efficacious and then to sell it for him. I decided that the instrument needed a new soundboard, which I installed in June of 2009, and new jacks, to replace the old plastic jacks, and registers, all of which were replaced in Dec. of 2009. Because I designate my opus numbers to the soundboards more than to the bodies of my instruments, the new opus number for this instrument is 416. The results can be heard in the sound samples below. Those samples were made by me, with my usual scant practice, as you will no doubt hear, so you could listen to what the instrument sounds like.
