The (relatively) soft leather is belt leather suitable for a peau de buffle stop. The hard (European) leather is sole leather which is used in some modern harpsichords built in the second half of the last century.

Leather Pieces - These selected leather pieces measure 3"x4" (7.5x10 cm) or equivalent and are thick enough so they can be pared down in thickness to fit most mortises.

Precut Plectra - The plectra are 1/8" (3 mm) thick and tapered in width to fit most mortises. If you send us the dimensions of your mortises, we will adjust the thickness and shape of the plectra to fit your needs.

Linden Sticks - and delrin strips for converting from leather to delrin plectra. One set of #1089 will do one rank of jacks, 2 sets may do up to 3 sets. Instructions below are included in the price, but may be purchased separately.
