Enormously helpful. I just recently switched from piano to harpsichord and am having a rough time with maintenance and voicing. I will try your techniques first thing tomorrow!

Thank for this. I am going to try your way. Right now I HATE making a new plectra!

Good God...is that all there is to it? Why have I been so afraid of this for so long? I bought a full set of new jacks from Klop (the manufacturer of my bentside spinet), and I've been petrified to try voicing them. Thanks to you, this will be fun, not scary! :D

Thank you so much, Herr Haugsand! Now I'll be able to voice my Sperrhake harpsichord. I'm excited! Sincerely, Kathy Handyside

Many many thanks for sharing this. Marvellous! This will help me on voicing my new Zuckermann Virginal. The plectra are on Delrin, and I have some plectra as spare parts, but I need to cut it a little... have you a transcript of your suggestions? My english is poor... or some additional documentation in pdf?

Thanks and cheers from Canberra.

Thank you. That was very helpful.
Dear Simpsongolfanelli -
Your suggestion of a transcript and some additional documentation in pdf is of course something that I should think seriously about - and will - when I make a new - and not so 'raw' version - of this little snippet on voicing!
In any case - your own experience will help you and learning-by-doing is the only way you can improve in this, extremely un-exact science called harpsichord voicing..!!
Very best of luck - very best greetings!!

This very 'raw' and 'live' replacement of the tob b-flat quill on my blue 'Dulcken' harpsichord was made on the fly - literally, with the knife in one hand and the camera in the other...
Snippet mainly meant for the members of the Harsichord - Cembalo - Clavecin group in Facebook - but of course welcome to any one interested. Please, bear over with the 'simple-ness' of this 'first attempt'... perhaps I will indeed follow up with something more sofiticated in the future.!
