Clavecin à trois claviers de Hass : Collection Raphael Puyana

The Hass instrument is now apparently owned by Rafael Puyana, who is seen here performing a Sonata by Scarlatti. Built in 1740, it has three manuals with couplers, five choirs of strings (1x16', 2x8', 1x4', 1x2') with a separate soundboard for the 16' choir, six rows of jacks, a lute stop and harp stop for the 16'. This fine instrument well represents the culmination of the German school. It has since been copied by Robert Goble & Son, Oxford.

The 17th C French instrument is depicted in plate 42 of Russell's _The Harpsicord and Clavichord (1959) _, 2nd ed. As another contributor reported, it is said to have been destroyed in the bombing of Rotterdam in 1940. Interestingly, this harpsichord is said to have had a chromatic compass of FF-c3. Isn't it a little unusual to see 17th C instruments chromatic down to FF?

Das Virginal von Ruckers wurde vom Landesmuseum Württemberg (Stuttgart) 1976 auf einer Auktion bei Sotheybys in New York gekauft. Im Sothebys-Verkaufskatalog ist die Provenienzangabe tatsächlich "Formely in the Collection of M- & Mme. Salomon, Paris." Leider ist das Instrument nicht spielbar. Es hatten mehrere Restauratoren Gutachten gestellt, aber von einer so weitgehenden Restaurierung/Rekonstruktion abgeraten.
