The early French harpsichord with a 4-foot upper manual is made from massive walnut and is lacquered with shellac. It rests on an eight-leg frame with top and bottom cross-beams, fitted to the instrument's curved body. The legs are twist-turned, as with the original.
The Lyon-school harpsichord after Pierre Donzelague is two-coloured and painted with casein paint; it sits on a nine-leg fitted frame with high upper and lower cross-beams. The keyboards are ebony-covered and, as with the Flemish instruments, high carat gold gilding is available.
