                      HARPSICHORDS & PSALTERIES-OLD PIANO  RESTORATION

---

This spinet is inspired to an instrument preserved in the Victoria & Albert Museum of London. The original, made by an Anonymous Venetian at the end of the XVI century,was for a long time associated to Queen Elisabeth the First(1603). It is generally called "Queen Elisabeth's Virginal". This instrument, which I made in 1986, is in cypress with Renaissance inlays on the front side.
