Zuckermann mini Italian virginal by Carl Miller, 1994. 49 notes, GG/BB-d''' with split sharps in the bass. Tuned at A=415. Newly restrung and requilled in delrin. At just 48" wide, this is one of the smallest instruments we've ever offered for sale with a sound and personality much larger than one would expect, and a tone color closer to a harpsichord than to to most of the 'standard' Zuckermann Italian virginals we've come across. It fits in a Mini Cooper or even a Fiat 500 and yet can hold its own with a chamber ensemble. Comes with custom music desk and stand which easily disassembles for transport. Nationwide shipping available. Priced to move at just $4,400.
