French Harpsichord
double manual "GOERMANS-TASKIN", "BLANCHET", "HEMSCH"
Some examples of personalized design
The original instruments upon which we have based our studies can
be rated among the most important harpsichords known in our days.
The “Goermans - Taskin” was originally a Flemish harpsichord
that Taskin transformed (ravalement) into a great French instrument.
Its bright and sonorous voice makes it particularly suitable for a
wide repertoire and for large concert halls.
The 'Blanchet' and 'Hemsch' are harpsichords with a strong personality
which increase the range of our D.M. French, offering the musician
a wide choice of sounds and timbres.
All instruments are delivered with tool box and spare parts.
Special humidifiers - hygrometers for climate control, on request.
