Thomas Ciul Harpsichords and FortePianos

Harpsichords, Spinets, Virginals, Clavichords and Fortepianos

Thomas Ciul has been a builder of historical keyboard instruments for over 20 years. He specializes in small instruments that have been largely ignored by other builders, particularly pianos, as well as being a builder of the larger French and German instruments. He has done remarkable work on early pianos. The Clavichord/Piano and the Schmall Recumbent Harp piano (from instruments in the Metropolitan Museum collection, New York NY) are examples of his creations.

Restoration and reconstruction of early keyboard instruments are important services offered by this shop. Many instruments have been restored or upgraded to excellent playing condition. A copy of a specific antique instrument can be made per your request.

NEW - Guitar/Lautenwerk - Harpsichord strung in nylon with classical guitar scaling. $6500 US. A sound-file link is in preparation.
