Were there any muselaars with child instruments? I thought only spinet virginals were moeder und kind.
Thsi is an instrument by a maker Jef van Boven on this CD:
Is this not simply a modern confection?
Umm…the oldest surviving Ruckers at the Metropolitan Museum in New York City is exactly this…a muselar mother and child. So not at all a modern confection!

@DongsokShin Excellent! Thanks so much. The power of the forum!
Wonderful instrument.
[Over here in Australia we are deprived of being able to just drop in to these collections.]
Searching Boalch-Mould online I could spot a few other Mother-and-child muselaars: they were not a rarity.
