Barbara, the plectra on the Sperrhake (you don't indicate the serial =
number) maybe leather as the one I service regularly is. These are =
finicky little things. I have done some rescaling and some felt =
replacement as well as constant regulation and tuning. If I can be of =
further help feel free to contact at solliday@ptd.net =20

  Hi all,

  I have a request to service a Sperrhake Harpsichord, made in Passau =
(Germany).  Shucks, I attended the Goethe Institute in Passau a million =
years ago--there was this wonderful little beer garden......pardon me, I =
digress.   Anyway, it's just a small single manual.   A quick running of =
the keys told me it needs regulation.  I was short of time, so I didn't =
take a closer look. =20

  It's been ten years since I serviced a harpsichord, I have a small =
supply of the white, whatever they're made of, plectra.  Is there =
anything I should know about this make of instrument?

  I googled Sperrhake, but didn't come up with much.

  Thanks,

  Barbara Richmond, RPT
