Dear Barrie, Thanks for the information and the encouragement. Our American supply houses are not so much into period instruments, so I will be looking in a leather shop for something like vellum. This instrument is further unusual in that the action comes out in two separate pieces. The sound board is small, extending only from about an octave above middle C on to the right, and there is a support for it that divides the action. Two key frames, two hammer rails, bass/tenor part has to slide out first. Bill Maxim, RPT
