This concert quality 1999 French Double after Henri Hemsch sits on a Louis XVI style table stand gilded in 23K gold. Disposed 2x8'+4 with buff, it's FF-g''' compass is transposable A415/A440 Hz. Wooden jacks are quilled in delrin. The instrument's manuals couple with a shove coupler on the upper manual. The outer case, propstick and lid is lacquered with mother of pearl inlay bands bordered with 23K gold leaf. The keyboards are ebony and bone.

The instrument is well travelled and does show some minor scuffs to the paintwork and the lacquer has cracked in parts, giving the instrument an antique patina.

The action is recently overhauled and has been revoiced throughout. The tone is majestically French with a booming bass and a shimmering haze of sound across the compass.
