[b] ...Claviersbaroques - Toronto ----- Custom instrument builder and used instrument dealer.... Thank you for the update. How did you contact them? I've been calling them off and on because I want to setup an appointment for next spring. They will most likely be travelling down to the Early Music Festival in Boston, and I want them to do some maintenance on my virginal and my clavichord. John

Well, I e-mailed them at mail@claviersbaroques.com, and, because they warned they're having trouble with a spam filter, also telephoned their area code 416 number and left a message with my e-mail address. Right now they're a bit busy providing continuo services to Cosi Fan Tutti, which might hinder their responses.

I'll try the 416 number tomorrow. John

Were there no harpsichord builders who thought of lifting all the dampers with a pedal (Ã la piano)? The dampers and jacks are the same parts on a harpsichord, so lifting the dampers would play all the notes, unless that rank of jacks were turned off first. If you turned off the rank of jacks, you could not play the undamped string. Of course, it could be used to vibrate sympathetically with another choir of strings. There were, in fact, apparently harpsichords that had a stop that held a rank of jacks up, but the references I have read did not indicate that that it was used as a damper pedal.
