Bizzi French Double Manual Harpsichord after Goermans-Taskin

The original instruments upon which Bizzi has based his studies are amongst the most important known harpsichords. The Goermans-Taskin was originally a Flemish harpsichord that Taskin transformed (ravalement) into a great French instrument. Its bright and sonorous voice makes it particularly suitable for a wide repertoire and for large concert halls.
