Zusammenfassung:Presents a modern method for designing a string plan for harpsichords, calling on the disciplines of metallurgy, mathematics, and physics. It correlates with what historical makers did empirically. Emphasis is on the selection and calculation of string lengths and string diameters at one of the well-established pitch references (A392, A415, A440) based on the properties of currently available wire. This method may be thought of as an additional tool for the modern maker. The discussion combines historical and modern elements (RILM)
