His great passion has become the Swedish style of clavichord making, of which he offers and has
built several designs. His large clavichords after Lindholm-Söderström were prominently
featured at the 2001 Boston Early Music Festival. His clavichords have been performed
on in concert by Richard Troeger, Richard Fuller, Mikko Korhonen, and Pekka Vapaavuori. His instruments are made to order in a small workshop by himself. All are based on historical examples, most of which have been personally examined. Though emphasizing Swedish clavichords, other instruments will be considered, and in fact he is currently building an early un-fretted example from the Saxon school. |
