At that Spivey competition another contestant and I had the surprising
privilege of going out for dinner with Martin Skowroneck, Keith Hill, and
David Jencks. Keith and Martin got into a detailed discussion of
clavichords that evening, along with the expected conversation of everyone
about harpsichords.
