Individual character
Two Klop generations have resulted in a wealth of knowledge and experience; in particular we have studied the Flemish and French harpsichord traditions. The powerful, vocal and transparent tone of instruments built in the style of Dulcken, Ruckers and others creates an extremely versatile range of possible uses for these instruments. If you do not want to be limited in your choice of harpsichord literature, a compass of FF-f’’’ is recommended. If you regularly transport your instrument or it is at risk of being damaged, we advise cherrywood or oak.
