L' Atelier Marc Ducornet

 

Dear friends of the harpsichord,

We have several lines of instruments, all constructed only on order in the most purely artisan-like tradition. Assembled and painted by hand, their musical regulation is done by ear and touch. These lines share the same reputation of high musical quality, excellent touch, and reliability. They are distinguished by 3 different signatures:

1. The top of the line instruments signed "Marc Ducornet":

 

They are finished individually with few options apart from decorative ones, and normally delivered with table stand, light dust cover, etc.. Note especially our French Double after Hemsch, the Flemish which is an exact copy of the Colmar Ruckers, the North German school harpsichord, the exact copy of the Silbermann spinet, and the muselaar.


2. The instruments signed "Atelier Marc Ducornet":

These are offered in basic versions, like the Franco-Flemish model, or simplified, like the French Hemsch school, certain Flemish models and the Silbermann spinet, each with many possible options.

The Franco-Flemish model is our most flexible and offers the largest keyboard range of 63 notes. Its sonority is midway between the incisiveness of the Flemish and the roundness of the French. The simplified Silbermann spinet is like a small German harpsichord.


3. The instruments signed with a Logo "AMD":

The simplicity of conception and finish means these instruments combine a high musical level and excellent touch with a very competitive price. We feature here a small French Single with 56 notes (GG - d''') and one or two 8' registers, and, since November 96, a compact and lightweight Spinet after Delin with the same 56-note compass.


To learn more, I invite you to contact me or one of my "Associates" by mail or e-mail. I will be even happier to respond to you by fax or telephone (in French, English, German or Spanish): for 25 years, I have answered the phone myself, at the same number.
