Henri Hemsch, as
well as his brother Guilluame, produced some of the finest instruments
that are left for us to examine, measure and inspire us. These instruments
represent the height of Parisian harpsichord making in the 18th Century.
The case is made
of aged poplar and fir, a decorated fir soundboard with beech or walnut
bridges. The keyboard is ebony with bone-topped accidentals, painted and
gilded case with bands and an apron stand with tapered legs. Cabriole
legs, lid paintings and other special decoration also available(See
pictures).
