Lids on


I've put the lids back on, and the instrument is almost mechanically complete. A few more odds and ends to work on, and more voicing and regulation adjustment, and then it'll be ready to launch.

Almost done


We're in the harpsichord homestretch. The front and back choirs of jacks are cut to length, with quills and dampers installed. Voicing is an ongoing process, and the 4' choir remains undone, but the instrument is playing, and the bass strings are warming up and sounding better all the time.
