Harpsichord & Dulcimer Tools & Supplies

This Harpsichord & Dulcimer Tools & Supplies collection brings together the essentials for building, maintaining, and restoring early keyboard and folk string instruments, with a focus on wire, pins, and practical tuning tools. You’ll find high‑carbon music wire in commonly used gauges (sizes 0–11) offered both in convenient 10' lengths for single‑string replacements and in quarter‑ and half‑pound coils for full or partial restringing. Pinning needs are covered with tuning pins suitable for harpsichords, hammered dulcimers, zithers, and small harps, along with nickel‑plated desk pins for case hardware. Square‑head tuning hammers and compact T‑style wrenches fit standard pin heads for reliable tuning in the shop or field. The assortment supports tasks such as matching wire diameter to the original scale, replacing broken strings, repinning or addressing slipping pins, and routine setup. For best results, select wire by measured diameter to maintain intended tensioning, choose pin sizes to suit the existing pinblock, and keep short wire lengths on hand for quick repairs while coils serve well for complete stringing work.
