As soon as the server will let me update photos, you can see the restored Flemish Single by Ferdinand Pointer project completed this spring (2025).

The instrument had suffered greatly in high humidity and required substantial case and soundboard repairs, as well as cosmetics. The case had been bashed about a bit, and the soundboard had splits and movement requiring repairs as well as infilling the soundboard decor. The Flemish papers on the lid were compromised in sections, so replacement bits were carefully fit in and stained to match the rest (with tea!).  Black filigree damaged on the original were filled in by hand.

Converted into a 415/550 transposer.  Restrung with Birkett wire (yum!),  regulations, etc. etc., the full works.

Ugly duckling into singing swan!
