Jean-Antoine Vaudry, Paris 1681

Jean-Antoine Vaudry Original

Jean-Antoine Vaudry Copy

 
This Instrument was Built in Close Contact to the Court of Louis XIV, King of France and is Representing a Harpsichord from the Paris of Francois Couperin.


After the Year 1703, the French Harpsichord Builders Adapted the Flemish Construction and the Vaudry is a Good Example for the French Harpsichord-Building before 1703.

The Original (Range GG-c³) is in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and it had a Very Unusual Soundboard-Ribbing. Some Harpsichordmakers have Copied it Before me:
No one Dared, to Copy the Ribbing Originally: I was in 1986 the First and the Result is the Reward for my Courage.

My Copy has the range of GG-d³ and on 8´8´4´-Stringing 4 Registers: one 8´and one 4´on the Lower Manual and on the Upper Manual one Strong, clear 8´and one Soft, Bright 8´.
Manual coupler, Transposing Device (a1=415-392), length 221 cm.

Price with simple stand: US$ 28,770
additional Original stand: US$ 5,460
