This is, perhaps, the most perfectly made instrument to pass through my workshop. It has been restrung in Malcolm Rose English iron and brass, voiced in black Delrin plectra, with new dampers and a thorough action regulation.

Dale,
ReplyDeleteWould you happen to have any contact information? I'd like to send you some photos of a French double my wife and I recently purchased. It was restored around 2013, possibly by you. We know it was done in the Boston area, and the box of extra supplies that came with it has your return address. We'd like to know if you were the restorer, and if you have any idea what its origins might be. Hubbard's Hendrik Broekman said it might be one of their kits, and that it looks like it's from the mid-70s or so. However, he's never seen the rose design. It appears that the restoration included new Hubbard jacks.
Thanks for any assistance you can give us.
Regards,
Matt Hutchinson
