Willard Martin is teaching a class in harpsichord regulation at the MARC.
Richard Kingston will probably teach harpsichord regulation in Charlotte in 2006.
Take one of these classes and you'll know as much as all the rest of us put together.
A Dowd is a fine instrument. You're lucky to have one.

Subject: [CAUT] h'chord regulation question


I'm trying to do some regulating on our Down double manual. The bottom manual activates both the short and long string. Question: Should the two plecterns be adjusted so that they hit the two strings at the same time, or should there be a delay between the two of them? If there needs to be a delay, how much of a delay should there be, and should the longer string hit before the shorter, or the other way around?

On a different topic, but with the same h'chord. The lever that activates the long strings is broken. (I mean, the lever is literally broken off, right where it enters the cabinet). Where can I get a new one?
