Spinet Delin by The Paris Workshop

Spinet Delin kit by The Paris Workshop

Instrument supplied in kit form for home assembly.

This spinet was inspired by an original instrument dated 1770, built by Albertus Delin (1712-1771) in Tournai and now preserved in the Brussels Musical Instrument Museum. It has been slightly modified the original specification to provide a 56-note keyboard which allows transposition to A440 without the loss of the top note.

This model is ideal as a kit for many reasons. The ease of construction and the low price assist the first-time builder, and for a player beginning to explore the fascinating world of early keyboards, here is an instrument with good tone, pleasant touch, and a keyboard compass sufficient for perhaps 90% of the repertoire.
