Includes carrying case. A challenging project of over 100 hours. Delin Harpsichord Kit Delin was a refined Belgian maker whose surviving 10 instruments cover the period 1750-1779. Transposition is instantaneous by removing one or both of the transposition blocks and transferring them to the opposite side of the keyboard. The advantage of a transposing keyboard is that it avoids destabilizing the harpsichord by large overall changes in string tension.
Kit comes with case assembled.
The lid, baseboard and soundboard are planked and sanded to correct thickness with bridges, battens, etc. to be assembled. Traditionally designed with mechanical action and metal pipes that operate on a low wind pressure. To ensure success even for the first time kit builder, the bellows have been specially designed to be simple to make yet effective for playing. Every screw, pin, dowel, piece of felt and leather is included. 25 metal pipes voiced before dispatch simply slot into place on the finished casework and the organ is complete, ready for final tuning.
