About Me
- Trasuntino
- I am a professional harpsichordist in a major Canadian city, working as a freelance performer and church musician. Instrument maintenance such as tuning and regulation is also of interest to me and provides occasional extra income. The idea for this project came to me in February 2007 when I realized that my experience with instrument maintenance put me a step closer to making an instrument, as some maintenance techniques such as replacing quills or strings are part of making a new instrument. After that, the thought of making an instrument began to seem a logical, if not inevitable, extension of my maintenance skills.

Bravo to you! What a job!
I am currently building a spruce JC GOUJON of 1753 and I recognize the great difficulty of this construction. Respect!
I look forward to the first sounds.
