Biography
My harpsichords are authentic and acoustically faithful replicas. I have dedicated myself to building harpsichords in the manner understood by the masters of the 17th and 18th centuries. Therefore, my guiding principle in constructing my instruments is to honour the original.
29 years of experienceMy goal is to capture the soul and spirit of an original and its specific characteristics in the replica. The craftsmanship is crucial, as I primarily work with hand tools, minimising machine use — after all, the greatest influence on the wood and the quality of the harpsichord comes from working with hand tools!
To do justice to an original, it is not just about having a blueprint; rather, I strive to comprehensively absorb the instrument. I take considerable time to gain a thorough impression of the original, considering a multitude of aspects, including the individuals Hemsch or Ruckers in their respective eras.
My experience shows that this internal image is far more critical than rigid adherence to measurements — after all, the replica of a harpsichord should not merely be a collection of measurements and materials, but ultimately yield more than the sum of its parts!
