Happy Thanksgiving!

We had to brave this beast to go to harpsichord lab today. Does anyone know what this is? (It's about 2" long not including the legs.)

Jessica marks where the bridge pins will be installed on the 8' and 4' bridges. John S. explains: "The bridge pins hold the string in place against the bridge so the vibrations can be transferred to the soundboard. This also defines one end of the vibrating length of the string."

Angela planes part of the music desk.

John, Jessica, and Paul mark where the 8' hitchpins will be installed in the 8' hitchpin rail. John S. explains: "Iron hitchpins will be hammered in, and these pins will hold the looped end of the strings."

Elizabeth glues and clamps another part of the music desk.

Taking a moment to extol the virtues of family, food, and football before heading to Haydn Seminar.
