    Harpsichord Project Part 19 - Soundboard con't.

    Hi all, Nothing that we do will have a greater effect on the tone of the harpsichord than what we do to the soundboard. In this part, we’ll make a rose, cut a hole for it in the soundboard, locate the bridges on the soundboard and mark the 8’ bridge for bridge pins, and make the 4’ hitchpin...

    Harpsichord Project Part 15B - Pinblock & "Nuts" con't.

    Hi all, This post is the continuation of Part 15A. The next step is critically important to the proper functioning of the instrument. We must accurately mark the positions of the two nuts on the pinblock as well as the position of the 102 tuning pin holes. To do this, we cut out the pinblock...

    Harpsichord Project Part 2 - Keyboard con't.

    Tool Tinker (cont) Lathe *w/pics*

    This may be a feeble attempt at making a silk purse out of a sows ear, but I am a tinkerer and can't leave anything alone. This time it is my lathe. I bought a small, used Delta 46-701 12" lathe off Ebay a few years back. Since I'm not much of a turner it meets my needs. One thing I didn't like...
