Albert Delin
The prototype for this model was built by Albert Delin of Tournai in
1768. It is now in the collection of the harpsichordist Kenneth Gilbert.
Its wide keyboard range and clear resonant tone make it suitable for
virtually all of the harpsichord literature.
The case is painted one or two colors with gold bands and moldings. The
keyboard has ebony naturals and bone-topped accidentals. We reproduce
the carved keyfronts and "skunktail" keyblocks of the original. The
instrument rests on a trestle stand with four turned legs. Optional are
table stands with either cabriole or turned and fluted legs and a
soundboard painting.
Range: GG-e³,
transposing keyboard (a¹=415 and 440, a¹=392 and 415) (or a¹=392,
415 and 440 without "skunktail" keyblocks).
Disposition: 2x8',
buff
Dimensions: 7' 2" X
2' 11" (223 x 90 cm)
