Building your own instrument can be a wonderful, cathartic, consuming, frustrating, enlightening, terrifying and ultimately rewarding pursuit. Making an instrument from scratch is something that requires special tools and not something easily accomplished at home, let alone in a well equipped workshop. Despite this, many people have successfully built their own harpsichords with parts supplied as a kit, ready to be assembled. We can supply all of the required parts to accomplish building your own harpsichord and we can finish them to any level depending on your situation.
