When doing any work on the action of a harpsichord, one often needs to remove the jacks: Well over 150 slips of pear wood that a.) are very fragile and b.) must be kept in order. This is a set of three shallow trays that nest in a stack to keep the jacks safe. Nothing glamorous (just some 1/4” MDF) but an essential tool for keeping the instrument in top shape.

Actually, harpsichords (good ones, at least) are rather simple instruments. Nowhere near the sheer mass or mechanical complexity of a piano. Lots of people build very successful instruments from kits, even.
