介绍（中）	Joannes （Jan） Ruckers是Hans Ruckers的长子，他在大都会艺术博物馆（29.90）建造了非凡的"母子"处女。在父亲的作坊接受培训后，乔安尼斯成为一名大师，并于1611年加入圣路加公会。该乐器是 muselar virginal，一种带有矩形外壳和一组琴弦的乐器，这些琴弦平行于外壳背面，键盘设置在外壳中心的右侧。更典型的处女将键盘放在表壳中心的右侧。键盘和插孔的位置使琴弦的拨动点比其他处女乐器更靠近中心，使这些乐器具有明显不同的声音，有时被描述为"长笛状"。该乐器有一个矩形的流行外壳，右侧带有嵌入式键盘（muselar）。内壳壁和盖子内表面装饰有蔓藤花纹和木纹图案的木版印刷纸。钥匙井和内部表壳的正面装饰有海马图案的木版印刷纸，这些纸通常出现在Ruckers仪器上。内盖纸上的方块字母带有座右铭OMNIS SPIRITUS/LAUDET DOMINUM（"让每个灵魂赞美主"）。最初的指南针是 45 个音符 C/E 到 c3，但在 18 世纪扩大到 54 个音符，范围从 C 到 f3。天然的被骨头覆盖，并有浮雕的羊皮纸正面。意外是黑色橡木。音板装饰有彩绘花朵、水果、蔓藤花纹和带有制造商首字母 IR 的镀金铸造金属玫瑰。
介绍（英）	Joannes (Jan) Ruckers was the oldest son of Hans Ruckers who built the extraordinary 'mother and child' virginal also at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (29.90). After training in his father's workshop, Joannes became a master and joined the Guild of St. Luke's in 1611. This instrument is a muselar virginal, a type of instrument with a rectangular case and a single set of strings that run parallel to the back of the case and with its keyboard set to the right fo the center of the case. The more typical virginals had their keyboards to the right of the center of the case. The position of the keyboard and jacks makes the plucking point of the strings closer to the center than for other virginals, giving these instruments a discernibly different sound that is sometimes described as 'flute like.' The instrument has a rectangular popular case with inset keyboard to the right (muselar). The interior case walls and interior surface of the lid is decorated with block-printed papers featuring arabesque and wood-grain motifs. The keywell and front of the interior case are decorated with sea-horse patterned block-printed papers, which commonly appear on Ruckers instruments. Block letters on the interior lid papers carry the motto OMNIS SPIRITUS/LAUDET DOMINUM ("Let every spirit praise the Lord"). The original compass was 45 notes C/E to c3, but was enlarged in the eighteenth century to 54 notes with a range from C to f3. The naturals are covered with bones and have embossed parchment fronts. The accidentals are black-stained oak. The soundboard is decorated with painted flowers, fruit, arabesques, and a gilded cast metal rose with the maker's initials IR.
