Further Information & Condition Report

Explore this exquisite 20th-century “Flemish style” Two-manual Harpsichord crafted by John Rooks of Ticknall in 1981, paying homage to Jan Ruckers' 1637 design. The harpsichord features double manual keyboards with two unison sets, one octave, and a unique “buff” stop. The outer casework has been artistically “marbled” by Sheila Barnes of Edinburgh, enhancing its visual appeal.

Resting on turned baluster supports, the case boasts intricate decorations on the soundboard depicting birds, foliage, and flowers, complemented by a folding music desk. Though the soundboard, bridges, strings, and jacks are in good shape, a single jack is missing, and there is a small crack in the high treble section. The action may require some adjustment but offers good repetition and damping.

The broken octave keyboards feature synthetic naturals and ebonized sharps, totaling 58 keys from B1 to E6. Experience the charming sound of this Harpsichord by listening to Alan Cuckston's performance in this <u><a href="https://youtu.be/XWoUPM5ZmSs?si=W6lA00p0KnQt1RHO" target="_blank">recording of Suite No. 5 in E major by George Frederick Handel</a></u>.

For those interested in acquiring this rare piece, specialist support will be available for safe removal and handling. Contact Duggleby Auctioneers for pricing details and further information.
