Perhaps
the chekker is a myth. I wanted to have something other than slides
of artwork to show what may have been around in the 1400's. This
instrument is convertible too. As you can see, the keys fit in for
vertical or horizontal performance. The earlier the instrument the
more rosettes.
Check the gilded trefoil key fronts - very classy! This instrument is a bout 2 feet long and sits on the TV.
