A Franco-Flemish double-manual harpsichord,
The Tomasini decorations on the jackrailThe decoration on the top of the jackrail of the Franco-Flemish harpsichord compared to the decoration on the 1889 Tomasini harpsichord in the Berlin Musikinstrumentenmuseum. The decoration on the jackrail at the top has not yet cleaned or restored.
This decoration is mostly in a style quite different from that of the rest of the decoration of the instrument and seems to have been added to by the decorator who worked for Tomasini around 1889.
