Description | The 1769 harpsichord by Pascal Taskin is one of the most famous examples in the world and has surely been reproduced by modern makers more than any other example. The soundboard shows the maker's carved rose with his initials either side of a carved harp-playing angel as well as a painted wreath of flowers and a bird on a tree stump _ a typical feature representing life returning. Part of the Raymond Russell Collection. |
