Considerations on Keyboard Conservation and Policy for Facsimiles and Replicas in France
Florence Gétreau 1
(2008)

Keyboard instruments preserved in French museums are in various states of conservation. Some came into public collections in the second half of the 19th century being part of decorative art collections (they are often in quite an “historic” state). Some were previously in musician's hands, and they then show signs of use, maintenance, and adaptation to specific “tastes”. Whilst in the museum, they also get several “stratifications of restoration”, each generation having a peculiar deontology, different techniques and different results. This paper present facsimiles and reconstitution of instruments in playing order of great historical and musical importance; facsimiles of instruments modified in the course of their life or highly damaged; facsimiles of unique instruments in a very "original" state and finally facsimiles for museographic purposes. As conclusion, we give some considerations regarding the "reception" of these policies among administrators and musicians, taking into account the public and the media.
