Single Keyboard FRENCH HARPSICHORD after "BLANCHET"

Here is an extremely typified instrument of the French school: the bass notes are round and clear like a drum, the treble is almost ethereal... Mannered, it is a light, airy instrument, to be played with the tips of the fingers which expresses to perfection the delicacy of XVIII century French music.

The refinement of this harpsichord can be seen in its detailed finishing, including effects of perspective on the bridges. It is the evidence of a rare understanding, and admirable mastery .
