Single Manual Italian Harpsichord
by D. Jacques Way and Marc Ducornet, 1991
$9250
Beautiful, resonant, lightweight Italian made by two famed makers during their partnership and fully revived in 2021 by Anne Acker including Stephen Birkett (Historical Music Wire) brass. Stunning sound. Perfect continuo instrument, as well as a striking solo performer for the right repertoire (Scarlatti and early Italian, especially, in my humble opinion). Includes non-attached wooden fitted lid for protection and moving plus padded canvas moving cover. Case and stand have mellowed to a beautiful golden brown color as is typical for this type of wood. Easy transport in smaller vehicles!
