介绍（中）	大键琴在18世纪的法国达到了最受欢迎和最精致的程度。1789年的法国大革命和随后的动乱导致许多这些美丽的乐器被毁。这个例子是一个罕见的幸存者，后来在十八世纪末或十九世纪被改装成钢琴大键琴琴盒漆成黑色，镀金装饰有音乐奖杯、鲜花、花饰和格子纸尿裤的小pamels。独立的支架，有七个cabriole腿和卷轴脚，带有雕刻的棘饰。箱子的内部被漆成红色，并有黑色和金色的中国风格装饰。内盖装饰包括一个亚洲风格的展馆和多位演奏欧洲乐器的亚洲音乐家，包括小提琴、中提琴、胡迪古迪琴和大键琴。盖子上还有珍禽异兽和大型花朵。音响板上装饰着五颜六色的花朵和一只大鹦鹉。玫瑰周围是一个巨大的插花，制造商的名字是：IOANNES GOERMANS。音孔玫瑰是镀金的锡制，上面有天使和七弦琴以及首字母IG 该乐器最初有两本手册和三套琴弦（两个八英尺套准和一个四英尺套准）。在转换过程中，顶部键盘被拆除，四英尺长的琴桥和琴弦也被拆除（挂钩孔被堵住）。下键盘有61个键（FF-f3），黑檀木自然色，骨头在彩绘的意外块上滑动。上键盘和插孔的拆除为基于德国prellmechanik的简单钢琴机构提供了空间。
介绍（英）	The harpsichord reached its greatest popularity and refinement in eighteenth century France. The French Revolution of 1789 and subsequent turmoil caused many of these beautiful instruments to be destroyed. This example is a rare survivor that was later converted to a piano in the late eighteen or nineteenth century. The harpsichord case painted black and decorated in gilt with musical trophies, flowers, floral borders, and small pamels of lattice diaper. Separate stand with seven cabriole legs and scroll feet with carved acanthaus ornaments. The inside of the case is painted red with chinoiserie decorations in black and gold. The inside lid decorations include an Asian style pavilion and multiple Asian musicians playing European instruments including the violin, viola da gamba, hurdy gurdy, and harpsichord. The lid also features exotic birds and large flowers. The sound board is decorated with polychrome flowers and a large parrot. Around the rose is a large floral arrangement and the makers name: IOANNES GOERMANS. The soundhole rose is gilded pewter with an angel and lyre and the initials IG. The instrument originally had two-manuals and three sets of strings (two eight foot registers and a four foot register). In the conversion, the top keyboard was removed and the four foot bridge and strings were also removed (and the hitchpin holes plugged). The lower keyboard has 61 keys (FF-f3) with ebony naturals and bone slips over painted accidental blocks. The removal of the upper keyboard and the jacks provided room for a simple piano mechanism based on the German prellmechanik.
