Dedicated to the Craft of Early Keyboard Instruments

​Behind every resonant note of a harpsichord, spinet, or clavichord lies a complex network of traditional woodworking, precise metallurgy, and acoustic science. My passion is protecting this heritage by using time-honored techniques and premium, historically accurate materials.

Restoring Touch and Tone to Historical Keyboards

​Over time, structural tension, climate shifts, and regular playing can alter an instrument's character. Unlike mass-market alternatives, my approach focuses on sympathetic restoration. I carefully evaluate case structures, replace failing strings, and execute precise action regulation to ensure your instrument feels as good as it sounds.

Mastery in Plectra Voicing and Action Regulation

The true voice of a harpsichord relies entirely on the voicing of its plectra. I meticulously cut, shape, and voice each individual plectrum to give musicians the optimal balance of resistance, prompt attack, and reliable repetition across the entire register.

​Replacing Ivory Key Tops on Early Keyboard Instruments

Professional replacement of damaged early keyboard tops. Expert removal of old ivory and installation of legal, premium alternatives including bone, boxwood, and high-grade synthetics for harpsichords, spinets, and clavichords.
