The key action is English. The damper mechanism is German-type, mounted along the back side bar. There are 2 knee pedals: the left pedal triggers the lute register; the right pedal raises the dampers. There is a round sound hole in the soundboard (fragments of the rosace remained). The case is installed on 4 legs, veneered with mahogany, partially inlaid with bands of lightwood.
