Latest harpsichord finished with sound

[ErnieM]

This is my latest instrument, finished in May of this year. The case is poplar and is ebonized with India Ink, a product I've never used before. I used SpeedBall Super Black india ink, and it was much easier to work with than I thought it would be. I will definitely be using it again.

Thanks for looking and happy 4th of July.

Love it ! I can Hear Scarlatti, Handel and Bach Trio Sonatas in my head just looking at it. Interesting only one manual -allows for more elaborate finishing at the keyboard. Huzzah !
