I am the west coast representative for ZUCKERMANN HARPSICHORDS. I have over twenty years experience building and rebuilding harpsichords and clavichords. This beautiful Zuckermann French Double-Manual Harpsichord is considered the ultimate all around refined but powerful instrument with a glorious sound. With it’s hand carved two reverse keyboards with ebony naturals, bone slipped sharps, folding music desk, Louis XV-style stand with leg storage, and decorative details it is gorgeous in apperance to behold.
This harpsichord is completely assembled needing only a minimal amount of work to complete it. The bridges are attached needing to be pinned. The keyboards are assembled and leveled, needing only a light sanding & a finish clear coat applied. The pin block is drilled & ready for stringing. The quills & jacks are ready to install. The case has four coats of foundation paint & a finish coat ready for the gold leafing. The lid has four coats of foundation and has been sanded & ready for a finish coat. The Louis XV stand is completely assembled. It has four coats of foundation paint needing a fine sanding for one finish coat of paint & a clear coat of finish to prepare it for mounting the special motifs & decorative details. The assembly, painting and sanding of the stand is considered to be one of the most difficult aspects of building this instrument! The stand is meticulously assembled & is beautifully hand crafted.
This harpsichord comes with all the parts to make it a playable instrument. With all of the assembly work already performed this will be of a great significance in saving time and money to finish. When completed this harpsichord will sing with elegance and a booming resonant bass.
You may purchase it unfinished for $20,000.00 or you may have me finish it for $35,000.00.
Either choice will make this harpsichord an instrument you will be proud to own and play and a joy to hear.
