Sassman French Double Manual Harpsichord
1983
$17,500
This instrument has been used in major venues with the likes of Pinchas Zuckermann, Joshua Bell, Nigel Kennedy, the New World Symphony with this harpsichord played by Michael Tilson Thomas, the Brandenburg Ensemble, and others. Since Montrose doesn't seem to be on the concert tour list, I'm selling this fabulous rental instrument. Its voice has been described as orchestral when all the stops are pulled out! Completely versatile, It is a beautiful solo harpsichord, blends well with early instruments, but can hold its own with modern instruments as well.
