Two-manual harpsichord after Pascal Taskin

As a former apprentice of François Étienne Blanchet, Pascal Taskin took over the workshop following Blanchet's death. Like his predecessor, Taskin produced harpsichords of outstanding quality. Our two-manual reconstruction captivates with a lively sound that is both resonant and singing.
