Hi Chris,

> For those who are into "kinky" harpsichords: have a look here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMquwKJcVr4

What can one say? Wow.

What I find curious about this period of manufacture is how they could
have thought that sound was equal to or superior to the historical
instruments from the master workshops of the past. There seems to have
been some sort of perceptual/cultural blindness to the qualities of
the fine instruments from Ruckers, or Taskin, or heavens above,
anybody!

I would use a different adjective to kinky, Chris. :-)
