The Renaissance Workshop Company's 4' Ottavino Spinet Kit provides
the perfect introduction for anyone wanting to learn about making keyboard
instruments.
Time of construction: around 150 hours. Degree of difficulty: Quite
Challenging.
Only the best materials are used. The inner casework is mahogany with all
the mouldings cut exactly as the original. The soundboard is prepared from
selected spruce and the wrest pins and other hardware are of an historic
pattern. The jack bodies are cut to size and shape from beech with holly
tongues and hogs bristle springs. Both jacks and keys have to be fitted with
the lead weight provided. Also included in the kit are the materials for the
production of an Italian rose.
A unique gold transfer sheet for the keywell
decoration especially produced for Renaissance Workshop Company, based on
the artwork of the original instrument is available upon request at extra
cost. This really sets the instrument apart and is exceptionally easy to
apply. It even provides the initials for any builder to be included in a
modest oval in the centre of the design.
An outer lightweight carrying case is available
as an optional extra and if ordered with the kit is used for packing the
parts. |
