She is modeled after the 1723 Hieronymus Albrecht Hass FF-c"' instrument now housed in the Copenhagen Musikmuseet. Non dog-legged German coupling system. A unique example of a historical correctly constructed and set German Double manual Harpsichord as vast majority of the advertised ones out there are only German looking instruments using French or Flemish registration 2x8' 1x4 with a French Doglegged coupling system. Surreal tone that renders how a Bach, Telemann, or early Handel pieces should really sound like.
