Ruckers - Augusto Bonza - 4

The feed table, where you can see the wooden dowels that hold the joint with the soundboard.
linings are seen also on the housings for the registers and the linings of one side piece, the most backward, the space for the acute end of the tailpiece of 4 '.


Another view of the side panel, where you can see the pins that secure the bars to the lower side panel and those that combine curved side panels and fascia, as well as those of the soundboard, you've seen before in a previous post.
is seen also between the two cross rates, the glove compartment of a typical Ruckers harpsichord of the time. The compartment is formed by two beams, a partition wall of the bottom (closest to the observer of this photo), features a roof with bevels. Of course, the bottom of the instrument will be when it is mounted, the floor of the glove compartment.


The case mounted e messa in verticale. Sulla controfascia del fianco lungo si vede l'alloggiamento per l'estremità grave della cordiera dei 4'.

Controfasce montate. La controfascia di coda aveva negli strumenti storici spessore e altezza maggiori delle altre, probabilmente per meglio sostenere la tensione delle corde gravi, più lunghe e più spesse. Abbiamo seguito i Ruckers in questa particolarità.


La colla che si vede colare sotto le controfasce è colla animale, la stessa che sarà utilizzata bonding for all of the instrument.


The soundboard is guaranteed not only by the glue, pins or even wooden nails. Plugs were also used to secure the joints between the segments, including fund and cash management, and structural axes and sides.



Ruckers The typical joint between wing and tail-end curve. The edge of the protruding end of the queue will be subsequently planed to bring it up with the band curve.


Curved side was, in the Flemish tradition, bent on exposing the wood flame and then setting the piece in a way that would take the curve for a few minutes. Once cooled, the timber maintains its shape.
We proceeded in the same way, and here is the curved side mounted with the traces of carbonization.


Band curve just out of the fire treatment, and before the planer that removes much of the coal.

Frostbite Windburn On Cheeks What To Do

Ruckers - Augusto Bonza - 2

The harpsichord is similar to what I had started a standard keyboard, the extension from DO1 RE5 for 51 notes (low octave chromatic).

In this and later posts I will talk in first person plural. It 'obvious, however, that the contribution is very uneven between me and Augustus.

Since the tool also has a purpose "teaching" to me, we decided not to "cut corners": no shortcuts, no work done in the simplest way "because so much is the same." For each job we ask what was the sequence adopted by the Ruckers, and we follow the same sequence. Sometimes it is not clear, and sometimes they do not contribute technical studies on the subject, the first of the monograph by Grant O 'Brien, Ruckers. A Harpsichord and Virginal Building Tradition , Cambridge University Press, 1990 (hardcover edition is the only remainders, it has been published in paperback in 2008, you can buy on the site of Grant O 'Brien, ; here, or on Amazon, here ). In these cases, we test, hypothesis, and so far has always found a road that is now the most logical.
Sometimes, however, despite the efforts you are unable to understand why in some detail on original instruments, such as feature bevel on the bottom of the linings, which does not respond either to structural or aesthetic needs (because it is closed inside the instrument) or processing. In these cases we decide from time to time but usually that is reproduced in detail.
not, of course, blind copy, because everything is discussed and rethought.
In the next post some pictures.

Replace Entire Suspension 2000 Caravan

Ruckers - Augusto Bonza - 1

After several failed attempts in recent years because of my commitments and his own, I made a deal with Augusto Bonza involves the construction of a harpsichord together (we'll see in later posts in what is this "together").
Before Augustus, who is already facing a waiting list several years, is attacked by a mob of amateurs like me, states that the harpsichord is mine. That is, Did I regularly ordered, only that the agreement provides that certain phases of construction are carried out together, some from him and then some from me.

E 'this is why I suspended from March the construction of the Ruckers: a harpsichord that we decided to build a Ruckers is precisely what I had already begun and would be a duplication of effort. I'll finish in the past, when among other things I'll know more.

next post so I will address this project.
