This instrument was Frank Hubbard's last design, one he never had a
chance to see made. This instrument was built in the years just
following Frank's death by the Hubbard shop as an homage. Its sound
falls between that of Italian and Flemish instruments - just the thing
for Louis Couperin.
The range is small
but much more useful than one might otherwise imagine.
