| Ever since NEUPERT
has offered a copy of a bentside spinet by Johann Heinrich Silbermann,
Strasbourg 1767, there has been an undiminished interest in this five-octave
instrument with its well-rounded sonority.
Although customers value the design of this copy, also
as a piece of Baroque/Roccoco furniture, which carefully follows the original,
NEUPERT was repeatedly asked to make
this spinet in a lower-priced version without changing its tonal qualities.
The result of this suggestion is the "Standard" version
of this well-proven spinet.
NEUPERT explains in
the following ten points how the "Standard" model was designed and which
features were retained:
-
Measurements of the case: no change
-
Dimensions of the string lengths, bridges: no change
-
Soundboard: removal of the rose (which has no acoustical
function)
-
Jacks: no change
-
Keyboard: no change
-
Lute: no change
-
Legs: tapered legs instead of carved legs in Baroque style
-
Lid: flat lid instead of panelled lid
-
Hinges: from solid brass in a simple shape instead of hinges
formed like a stylised lily
-
Veneer: oak, natural or stained, or painted in a selection
from the NEUPERT samples with gold-coloured
bands instead of a veneer in French walnut
