Instruments "Doutreligne"

Instruments

At the request of a lot of music organizations, teachers, students, and amateur musicians a large offer of harpsichords is built under the name "Doutreligne"; these are more economical than the "Chris Maene" instruments. Historical instruments are used as an example for these models, but they are adjusted when it comes to keyboard size and registers. Nevertheless, the constructors respect the original wood types and construction methods.

The furniture is hand painted, but with a simple finish. Because of this, quality instruments can be offered, without being an inroad to your budget.

The standard design is the Doutreligne according to Taskin.
