Harpsichord after A.Trasuntino, 1531

This instrument had an original compass going from C/E to f3 with short octave at a pitch of probably A=370 and a disposition of 8’, 4’ with brass strings in the bass and iron for the tenor and treble.
Late in 1693 its compass was changed to GG/BB-c3, the disposition to 2×8’ and strung all in brass.
The Trasuntino is one of the most beautiful examples of the great Venetian school of harpsichord makers.
We make a copy of both the original and the late instruments, with real and false inner outer case.
