Miscellaneous

Ref. 29 Slotted brass plate (I use these for locking transposing keyboards) were 19mm x 53mm, supplied with 50mm machine screws and 'T'-nuts to match.

Ref. 57 Ring-pull (Schudi-Broadwood harpsichord of 1781 - used to raise the Venetian swell)...the originals broke easily; this uses heavier material for the fixing. very popular but I haven't a clue what they are being used on, certainly there are more out there than there are extant complete Venetian swells!
Both ring and plate are 30mm diameter.
For up to 22mm timber thickness.

Ref. 148 Small shutter hook (Scottish?); the hook is permamently 
               attached to the plate by an iron loop (not shown here)   
               which is silver soldered in place 
               The hook is 63mm overall.

Ref. 154 Alarming bronze; the original (in cast iron) acted as
              an alternative to the tatty bits of carpet usually found
              on harmonium pedal plates. 

I've got one on my workshop door to scare of the bad fairys.   
                             222mm x 134mm!

Ref.S/019 embossed leather keyfronts.
I made the tool for these years ago, it's from the 'Queen Elizabeth Virginals' in the V&A, and something remarkably similar shows up on instruments made around 1700 in London, on the Tisseran harpsichord of 1700 and on spinets too. I've made them in plain leather and gilded too; they look good gilded.

I also make stop levers to your dimensions. These have the French lever handle at the business end, but other things are possible

Register retainers.
Ref. 169 for 60mm gap
Ref. 170 for 40mm gap
These (when fitted with a pad of leather glued underneath the centre) allow controllable pressure to be applied down on the registers to prevent them slithering toward the off position.....
