Spinet STUDIO
In order to reach a wider range of clientele, I have been planning and making a simpler harpsichord for a few years now, which is absolutely perfect for a student, but also absolutely suitable for concerts.
These instruments, a Spinet, and a Harpsichords with single and double manuals, I have called STUDIO. The price is affordable for many people, so that a possibly long cherished, beautiful dream can be fulfilled with it.
The Spinet STUDIO is an elaboration of a little Spinet from Italian tradition, so called “Ottavino” (i.e. 4 ‘sounding).
This instrument is very suitable for those who want to discover for the first time the Harpsichord world. It is of course absolutely perfect for frequent transport (even with a small car) and for small rooms.
