Replica of the Pleyel pianos I played in Paris. Lighter action than modern grands. The tone is intimate, almost whispering. Perfect for nocturnes. Tuned to A=430Hz (period pitch).

Working replica of my mechanical calculator. Six wheels. Automatic carry. Addition and subtraction. I built the original at 19 for my father. Turn the wheels and watch mathematics happen through pure mechanism.

Full bike tune-up: brakes, gears, chain, tires, cables, bearings. I work on road bikes, mountain bikes, city bikes, and e-bikes (non-motor parts). 10 years as a weekend mechanic. Drop off at my shed or I come to you (within Trapani). Most tune-ups done in 1-2 hours while you wait.

A dedicated chess machine inspired by Belle, the first computer to earn a master rating. Play against it. It will beat you. That's the point. Learn from losing.

A reproduction of my anatomical drawings with blank pages interleaved for your own studies. I dissected 30 corpses to understand how the body works. You can study from the drawings instead. Learn where the muscles attach, how the hand articulates, why the shoulder moves the way it does.

Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci

🇮🇹 🌐 🇫🇷

Learn to decompose problems into repeatable steps. We start with simple sequences, add loops, add conditionals, and build up to something that could compute Bernoulli numbers -- the algorithm I wrote in 1843. Paper and pencil only. No computers. The machine is not the point. The pattern is the point.

Working replica of the Wehrmacht 3-rotor Enigma. 159 quintillion possible settings. Type a letter, the rotors turn, the lampboard lights up the encrypted letter. I broke it with logic, not brute force. Try to crack a message yourself -- I'll give you hints.

Four hearing devices from different periods of my deafness, faithfully reproduced. From the early brass cone to the elaborate conversation devices Johann Maelzel built for me. A sobering reminder that the most famous music in history was composed in silence.

Replica of my Walter fortepiano -- the instrument I actually played, not a modern Steinway. Lighter action, clearer tone, closer to what I heard when I composed. Perfect for performing Mozart, Haydn, early Beethoven the way it was meant to sound.

Franco-Flemish double-manual harpsichord. Two 8-foot registers, one 4-foot. Proper temperament for Baroque repertoire. I wrote the Well-Tempered Clavier to prove every key was playable. This instrument proves it. Tuning included -- I'll come tune it at your venue.

Cabrinha Switchblade 12m kite, bar and lines, harness (M/L), and 140cm twin-tip board. Intermediate setup, perfect for 12-25 knot wind. Pump and repair kit included.
