Muselar after Andreas Ruckers

This instrument features a soundboard painting based on the original, while the lid decoration is inspired by a Flemish landscape from that period. It possesses a powerful, carrying sound. To achieve an authentic touch, the balance points of the keys have been adopted directly from the original instrument. Furthermore, the wooden jacks are equipped with the double-damping system that was common at the time.
