HARPSICHORD PLANS
==================
Here is a list of plans for harpsichords, clavichords, and early pianos
offered by museums (and other sources) around the world. It is by no means
complete.  I know I've missed a few places (particularly Boston), and
probably mislabeled a few instruments; I am inviting all to suggest
additions and changes (except in the case of Delin; I know Tournai was in
Flanders, but his instruments are more French than Flemish).

NOTE:  It cannot be overemphasized to the prospective harpsichord
do-it-yourselfer that museum drawings generally only reflect the CURRENT
STATE OF THE INSTRUMENT.  It is not incumbent upon the museum or the
researcher who executed the drawing to presuppose the original state of
the instrument.  Museum drawings usually do not provide complete enough
information to build an instrument; some understanding of harpsichord
building is assumed.
 
DIY'ers in need of real working drawings would be wise to contact R.K.
Lee, who produces several drawing packages that are based on historical
instruments, and are aimed at the experienced worker who wants to build an
instrument. He can provide these drawings on dimensionally stable media.
