Hello all,
As unbelievable as it sounds, it looks like no NCWW'er has decided to build a harpsichord.:gar-La;
Being a glutton for punishment, I thought I'd try again - this time with a somewhat less ambitious project. Here it is,
This is a music box that is an exact replica of a full sized 17th century Ottavino, which is a kind of Virginal, which is a kind of harpsichord, which is a kind of musical instrument. It measures only 11 1/2" x 5 7/8" x 5 3/4" and it plays when your fingers depress the keyboard and stops playing when you release the keyboard.
Due to the fact that this is a much smaller project than the full sized instrument we built in the Harpsichord Project, it only took me 221 pages to document its construction in a new e-book.
Thanks to Tracy for giving me permission to include my website in this post. If any NCWW member would like to build this little music box you can go to my website to read more about it. Please don't click the "Buy Now" button to purchase it. Instead, send me a PM with your e-mail address and I'll send you a link to download a free copy! Fair enough?
Thanks for looking,
Ernie
