11. French Double manual harpsichord after the 1769 Taskin in Edinburgh, my Opus 497 made in 2017/2022, with a compass of FF - g’’’, transposing to A-440, Buff stop in the keywell, Ebony naturals, Bone topped sharps, Boxwood arcades, music desk, four screw-in turned legs. Every once in a while when I have the time, I build harpsichords to have on hand to sell to people who hate waiting to have their instrument built. This is one of those instruments. I made it with the extra 2 notes in the treble to cover the entire literature. Price is $49,000.00 USD. This instrument is as yet unfinished being neither gessoed nor painted and gilded. It is otherwise ready to play in a concert. I am prepared to sell this instrument in its current state of unfinish for a 15% lower price.
12. French Double manual harpsichord after Blanchet my Opus 552 made in 2022, with a compass of FF - f’’’, transposing to A-440, Buff stop in the keywell, Ebony naturals, Bone topped sharps, Boxwood arcades, music desk, four screw-in turned legs. Similar to the Ahaus Ruckers Double listed above and the previous Taskin listed above this instrument, they were the last harpsichords that I made in 2022 in my Michigan workshop. I have since moved my shop to Nashville, Tennessee. Price when it is completed will be $48,500 USD.
12. 5 Octave clavichord after Hubert made in 2022 my Opus 553 , FF - f’’’ compass, double strung in Brass, fretted, Boxwood Naturals, Ebony sharps, Boxwood arcades. This is probably my last clavichord. I will post photos and recordings of this instrument when I have finished it in Nashville. It looks very similar to the photo below of my previous clavichord which sold last year. Price when completed will be $24,000 USD.
