His Harpsichords are beautiful!

Thanks Neal and Berta. I think I've already posted a picture of this instrument on NCWW.
If anyone is interested to see how it was built, I posted this video on YouTube.

Yep - Hard Nox University is my alma mater. Plus a great mentor in Paul Kennedy, plus many great builders, past and present, who put their knowledge down on paper for us to learn from.

Beautiful work ! a Musician Joke for Ernie "Ernie, you're pretty good at this you should do it for a living ......"

Yet another stunning instrument -- heartfelt kudos for your incredible work and the superb finishing touches by your talented wife! You are a true Master!

If you think it looks beautiful in the photo, you should see Ernie's harpsichords in person.
He and Sandra make a great team.
And, Ernie's shop is like a surgical room.
Congratulations Ernie!

Thanks to all for your generous comments.
