| Ref.12: Flap hinge from
the outer case of an Italian harpsichord signed G Z 1622 on the
lowest key; the instrument is at Hatchlands Park, Surrey, part of the
Cobbe collection. 45mm x 78mm open Ref. 149: Flap hinge This (and Ref. 150) are designs that 'came to me' (from whom I have forgotten, sorry!) I have the feeling I was told they were Flemish but the return on the strap hinge is only 9mm, and this and the pattern makes me think of them as Italian. They appear perfect for the smallest of instruments.
