Keyboard instruments by
John Kilpatrick
When I added this section I found that my records were rather
flaky, so there is not as much detail as I would have liked.
Apart from one, all these instruments were made from kits, either Zuckerman or John Storrs.
Click on a miniature for a larger picture, or in some cases further information and pictures.
Long gap between 1992 and 2013? I hadn't intended to make another, but a started kit became available
in the form of an offer I couldn't refuse. So, there we are!
Repairs & overhauls
Instruments made by Thomas
Kilpatrick
Thomas Kilpatrick (1912-1995) was my father. He heard about
harpsichord kits from me, when he had time on his hands
after a busy career in the steel industry, and (like me) started to make
instruments from them. For reasons that escape me, I have had
difficulty in unearthing details of these instruments, and the records
below may not be complete.
I would welcome contact from anyone who has (or who has had) a Thomas Kilpatrick instrument (see top right of home page).
Photos where existing, and more information likewise, to be added. The numbering is provisional.
