Hi Wim, Something you might find very helpful is Margaret Hood's excellent "Harpsichord Repair Guide", which she published in 2003. It is well written, nicely laid out, and is short and succinct enough to be immediately useful to the beginning and/or ocassional harpsichord technician______________________ completely readable in less than an evening. The bulk of the text deals with repairs (and related construction particulars) but also included are short sections on regulation, voicing, and maintenance. Margaret is actually on this list but she might be busy shoveling snow these days. She can also be reached at: Margaret Hood Fortepianos e-mail:HOOD@UWPLATT.EDU 580 West Cedar Street, Platteville, WI 53818 USA (608)348-6410 Her web URL is: http://www.fortepianos.pair.com/ At 05:26 PM 1/26/05, Wim Blees wrote: >I'm trying to do some regulating on our Down double manual.
