Hello harpsichord experts! While I was working on a piano at a church, the music director asked me if I knew anything about harpsichords. "Well...after five years at IWU, I was fairly decent at servicing the ones they had." He lead me into his office and explained that someone had donated a 78" Zuckerman harpsichord, not totally finished (of course). Hmm, there was piece of elastic spanning over the 4' jacks to help them return. The 8' jacks are in a box somewhere. :-) I do not claim to be an expert when it comes to harpsichords, though in the past I've been able to get them to play fairly well--that means all the notes work & sound pretty even and the touch is mostly even. I took a quick look at the keys and they are mighty tight. And then I pulled out this jack. Maybe screw adjustments aren't authentic, but I find them handy and there aren't any on these jacks. I have some harpsichord literature around here somewhere which I am fully capable of reading--but my question is this: Is it possible to get these jacks to perform well? Is there any other information or advice I need to work on this instrument? Thanks so much, Barbara Richmond -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
