I have what the Paris Workshop callS a Single Manual French Junior.  It

is a 8'x2 with buff, single manual.  Photo here:

The first few steps of construction started with a kit, but it was 

returned to Zuckermann after the case was assembled and they finished

it - ZHI, correctly, considers it a factory-built instrument.

 

The front and back 8' registers stick when the humidity exceeds about

45%.  I've been advised that I need to remove the jacks, remove the 

registers, and either plane or sand the inside sides of the registers 

to provide more freedom for easy register movement.

 

I'm finally playing the instrument daily (at last I'm taking lessons)

and would like to be able to use both registers, but lack both the 

physical ability and the confidence to tackle the register repair 

myself.

 

I live in Lexington KY, and would like to know of any qualified 

harpsichord technicians in the Lexington, Louisville, or Cincinnati

areas.

 

Thanks,

 

Bob Morgan
