What is Cembalo Ruckers Model?

Two hand dulcimers were designed from a model by John Rückers of 1624, which is housed in the Unterlinden Museum (formerly owned by the de Sade family and kept at the Château de Condé, Condé-en-Brie).

In Flemish dulmer you will get a solid construction and a colorful tone with rich resonance. Flemish makers are the first to build two-manual harpsichords after 1600.
The Rückers workshop is chalked up to creating the most advanced harpsichords, and even today it is a benchmark for harpsichordists and harpsichord makers.

The replica is used to record the sample set found at the Prague Academy of Music. Replica was manufactured by František Vyhnálek in 2008. The proliferous Czech harpsichord maker has desgined more than 150 advance instruments in the past 25 years. He builds after French, Flemish, Italian and German models. Except cembalos, he builds also virginals and spinets. Most instruments of František Vyhnálek sound used in many countries of Europe, in U.S.A., in Japan and are used by top harpsichordists (Zuzana Ruzickova, Gustav Leonhardt, Ton Koopman, Jacques Ogg, Johann Sonnleitner etc.)
