life and contributions

ioannes ruckers, a renowned harpsichord and virginal maker from the southern netherlands, was born in 1578 in antwerp, belgium. he passed away in 1642, leaving behind an indelible mark on the world of music and instrument making. the ruckers family's contributions to the technical development of the harpsichord are immeasurable, with their pioneering addition of a second manual setting a new standard for keyboard instruments.

technical innovations

the quality of ruckers' instruments is such that his name is as important to early keyboard instruments as stradivarius is to the violin family. in the 18th century, ruckers' instruments were often modified by french makers in a process known as ravalement, allowing for an extended range and other additions.
