KEYBOARDS
RENTAL: HARPSICHORD RENTAL / CHAMBER ORGAN RENTAL
/ HISTORICAL TUNING SERVICES:
1) Single-Manual Harpsichord by David Jensen
(Hamilton, Ontario, 2000), after Andreas Ruckers
(Antwerp, 1638).
This instrument was commissioned in Fall of 1998 by Predrag
Gosta, and was finally delivered to Atlanta by Mr. Jensen in
early February of 2001. The instrument is an exact replica of
the harpsichord by the famous Flemish maker of the 17th century,
Andreas Ruckers. The registration of this instrument is typical
Flemish registration: one 8' and one 4' register, as well as
a buff stop. The compass of the instrument, which was originally
C-ddd, was expanded by one key (BB), which enables the keyboard
player to use the short octave in the bass when necessary, or
to simply use one additional note tuned in any pitch (e.g. BB
flat) when necessary for the later repertoire.
The instrument was painted in the Flemish style, with faux-marble
finish and Flemish decorative papers. The Latin inscription
on the inside of the cover lid of the harpsichord reads: "Intactum
Sileo. Percute Dulce Cano", which in English translation
means: "Untouched, I am silent - Pluck me, and I sing sweetly."
