Perticis Rose

This rose is from the 1681 Perticis harpsichord in the collection of Barbara Lambert for which we offer the plan. The rose is for an 80 mm soundboard hole. It consists of two parchment layers top and bottom with a wood layer in-between. It is surrounded by a wooden ring. The patterns are printed on Mylar with adhesive backing. General instructions for making roses are provided.
