|  This
instrument is a copy of a French harpsichord made in 1769
by the great harpsichord builder Pascal Taskin. You can see
and admire the original at "The
Russel Collection of Early Instrument" in Edinburgh.
This is probably the most copied harpsichord in the world!
The instrument is a great representative of the French school
of harpsichord building at its peak in the end of the 18th
century.
The instrument has a compass of five octaves which means
that it is excellent for playing all sorts of baroque keyboard
music, especially the French music.
The keyboard has ebony topped naturals and sharps made of
pear wood and bone.
