French harpsichords
Our French harpsichords are based on the 'Golden' Ruckers Taskin in Paris and the Taskin in Edinburgh. Both the single and double-manual versions have transposing keyboards with a compass from FF to f''' Disposition: (single) 2 x 8'+ lute, (double) 2 x 8', 1 x 4'+ lute. The standard instruments are fitted with simple screw-on turned legs; French-style stands available to order.
