Some links to my favourite websites
Fratelli Rivolta, Woods
The most important fine wood suppliers in Italy, located in Desio near Milan.
Mark Vogel, Harpsichord parts
This firm, located in Jestetten (south Germany) near Scaffausen. CH, is very usefull either to the beginner harpsichord maker, or the well know professional man. They supply jacks, keyboard parts, screws, strings, tools, technical drawings, books etc.
Fernando De Luca
Falerno Ducande (His Arcadian Academy name) is a musicologist and a polymath harpsichordist. He teaches Harpsichord in Cagliari conservatory and performs concerts dressed in 18th century suit.
Elena Dal Cortivo
The parchement roses made by Elena are, after mine, thoose wich I prefer.
Silvio Levaggi
If you need a violin or another instrument of the modern quartet, Silvio Levaggi is the right person. Silvio and his wife, Anna, live in Cremona and, in my opinion, he makes the best string instruments in Italy and, probably, in Europe.
Atelier Delaruelle
Marie Pierre Delaruelle is an incredible woman full of sense of houmor living in Normandie. She makes keyboard parts and touchplates in natural bone, tuning pins in iron, tuning keys, brass hitch pins.
Cembali e tastiere antiche
A little group of crazy men discussing, in italian and french language about harpsichords and early keyboard instruments.
Grant O'Brien
Claviantica is one of the most interesting website about harpsichord and neapolitan instruments. Grant is a good friend and one of the most important figure during my vocational training. He was Curator of the Russell Collection until few years ago. His website contains also a lot of informations about the reorganization of a children's hospital in Zambia. Grant and Jhonny, his partner, are both involved in this exciting enterprise.
Dick
If you are near Metten, east Bavaria, I suggest you to spend a smashing afernoon in the Dick's shop. Everything a wood worker could desire except electric tools.
