Please note: This paper was written in those heady days before we all had a computer. So I have no version of this in any sort of digital format. My apologies for the sometimes haphazard appearance and organisation of this paper as it appears here. It is simply a cut-and-paste version of a scan of the paper made from the original Organ Yearbook published version. All spelling mistakes and errors of grammar are my own!!!
Also some of the ideas presented here - and many of the numbers - have changed since I first wrote this in 1980 - almost 40 years ago!
Some problems of restoration ethics in the restoration of a Franco-Flemish double-manual harpsichord
