Neither does your grammar.

As for the lower keyboard, you need to open up the top (panel lifts out to reveal the 'tuning' area of the choir strings), and there you will find the 'jacks' — one for each key, on each of the keyboards. Inspect each jack for ease of sliding up and back down, being very careful of the tiny plectra.
-
It appears that the upper keyboard's choir is in the 'off' position. There will be a bar, or lever in the vicinity of that keyboard which either pulls out slightly, or pushes in slightly (to engage or disengage that keyboard's choir).

that makes me sad :(

Break it up for firewood!! Nah, only joking! I love harpsichords, or any plucked-string keyboard instrument!! And anyway, you've already sold it. If I had the chance, I'd buy this and restore it. Can't be hard to fix. It's just mechanical problems. fixed by testing each key/jack one at a time, closely and taking heed of the professional comments on these pages. Could be multiple problems, yes. Hopefully, just plectra/jacks.

It DOESN'T ;)

That is really funny.

The plectra must be broken bro

This is why good harpsichord makers should never sell instruments to institutions.

Hi everyone. Thanks for the comments and advise on this clip/harpsichord. I've sold it to someone who works with harpsichords and other historical keyboard instruments, and he will rebuild it and probably sell it.

If you want to sell it, I'm interested!

If you're still interested - I'm thinking about selling. I'll be moving to a much smaller apartment soon and won't have the space for a harpsichord in need of repair.

it seems like the registers need to be adjusted. What city are you in-and who is the builder of the instrument?
