Carey Beebe demonstrating the conversion of the original leather plectra to delrin on a Morley virginal.
The original leather plectrum is seen to be weak and can easily be broken off. The old leather is pushed from the tongue mortise and discarded. The specially moulded Morley delrin facilitates the plectra conversion of this type of instrument. The new delrin plectrum is seated firmly in the square mortise, and the jack is ready for voicing.
Virginal signed Johannes Morley Londini Fecit [1969] (St Andrews College, Sydney University).

Do you sell these delrin conversion pieces? If not can you point me towards someone who does. Those would be great to convert my leathers in my spinet harpsichord. Thanks.

The make of your instrument will determine the exact type of delrin plectra and the method of conversion from the existing leather plectra. Morley make these moulded delrin plectra as you see here specifically for their older instruments. You are welcome to contact me for further information about other makes.
