[more about the Cembalino]
RWC Cembalino Built in the style of the Italian inner/outer harpsichords of the 16th century the cembalino is extremely light, weighing only 14kg. The casework is quarter sawn from close grained English sycamore, the baseboard is planked from tulipwood (American poplar), the soundboard is planked from selected Swiss pine, the keys are cut from lime with maple / rosewood covers and the beech jacks are fitted with holly tongues with delrin plectra. Strung in hand drawn brass the single 8' is scaled to a 16th century virginals pattern. The Cembalino produces a fine clear Italianate sound and can be tuned to either a=415 or a=440. Disposition: Single 8', 45 notes, CC/EE - c''' (short bottom octave). Size:
140cm long, 61cm wide, 17cm deep. The finished Cembalino includes a finished turned stand in the price. Each instrument is hand built to special order by in house craftsmen in our own workshops in Toledo (Spain) and comes with 12 months warranty. A simple hard carrying case is available as optional extras for safe transportation if required. A cassette recording of music by Salvatore, De Macque and Mayone played on the cembalino by Christopher Stembridge is available.
Cembalino Kit In addition, you will find a turned stand and a music desk specially designed for it. The price includes the license to build one instrument for private use.

All the kits Include free access to our customer 'Helpline' should you need any advice on construction, setting-up or playing. The Cembalino Kit is now supplied as solid timber throughout.
