A two manual Harpsichord based on the Francois Blanchet

This instrument was built with a slightly larger range than the original. It was extended to accomodate a transposed block allowing it to be played at both low and high pitchs. The range is FF-f3 and the pitchs are a=415hz and a=440hz. The instrument was decorated with a typical Chinoiserie.
