Natural wood version

This is an important harpsichord which was designed according the typical XVII century Italian manufacturing principles.
It was made in order to meet, not only the requirements of schools and students but also of continuo performers, ensembles and orchestras.

In fact, its strong character, together with the small size and light weight, has given the this model an increasing success and offered many musicians an ideal possibility to approach baroque music.

Two version available: "Studio" with one 8' stop and "Continuo" with 2x8'
All instruments are delivered with tool box and spare parts.
Special humidifiers - hygrometers for climate control, on request.
