Double Manual, 8´8´ Stringing in Bronce,Brass and Tombak, 3 Rows of Jacks, Buff Stop, Range FF/GG-f³ , with Transposing Device (a1=440/415Hz), Length 215 cm, Width 94.5 cm.

The Case is made of Resonance Spruce, Veneered with German Cherry or German Walnut.
You find a fixed, Strong, Dark 8´ on the Lower Manual and on the Upper Manual You can Switch from a Loud, Clear 8´ to a Soft, Nasal 8´.

Due to the Manual Coupler, it Offers a Great Variety of 8´- Sounds, which is Typical for the German Harpsichords, since with only a few Exceptions, the German Harpsichords had been made from Organ Makers.

In the Baroque Age, Germany was a „Melting Pot“ for the Italian and the French Style of Music and my J.N.Bach-Harpsichord may be Compared to a „Chameleon“: Because of it`s „Attac“ and the Clear „Speaking“, it sounds Italian.

His „Organ-Like“ Sound-Duration and the Big Volume Cannot be Achieved with Copies of Flemish or French Instruments.

If You Play i.e. C.Ph.E. Bach or Mozart, you may have the Feeling to Listen to a Fortepiano because of it´s Dark, Grounded Sound.

Two equal 8´ on the Lower and the Upper manual is, what J.S.Bach Wanted for his Goldberg-Variations.
It is the Most Suitable Harpsichord for Polyphonic Music because of it´s Speaking Sound and there are Pronounced 4 Different Tone-Colours in the Range of the Human Voices.

The Original has no Expensive Wood-Profiles and Decoration.
It had Certainly been made for a Musician, who wanted to get an Excellent Harpsichord as Cheap as Possible.

There is no 4´to Tune and Maintain, which is difficult.

The Original has the Range of AA-d³ which is Suitable for Most of the Baroque Music and I have sold ca. 12 Copies like this.
On Special Demand, I have Widened the Range to FF/GG-f³, which I offer parallel.

I have Made the First Copy in 1985 and since then it is the Most Sold Harpsichord of My Program.
