Here�s an excellent opportunity to get harpsichord you�ve always wanted. This is an early Zuckerman Z-kit, which was assembled fairly nicely with respect to the working parts, but the case is another story. The builder was either unable or unwilling to use cabinet-grade woods for the case, so he built it out of fir plywood. The top was so poorly executed that I just tossed it out and built the one you see in my pix, of cabinet-grade birch ply with solid maple edges. The good news is that the less-than-beautiful case doesn�t seem to detract from the sound. Our harpsichord tuner/repairman, Robert Turner re-quilled it about 10 years ago, and pronounced it one of the loudest specimens he�d ever come across. It has two voices, and a buff system I don�t fully understand. Needless to say this was sadly a project that we just never had time for, and now we�re out of room for it too. I can e-mail any interested parties a .wav or .mp3 of it being played, and I�m sure you�ll agree that this is a real value. Just request pix or sounds from w.s.walkerATverizon.net If you�re into decorative finishing, this could look real smashing, we just never got around to it. Obviously this is only available for pick-up, I�m not going to get into crating and/or shipping. I�ll be happy to make myself available to your shippers, but that�s all up to you! We�re in the NYC area, about 30 miles north of Manhattan.
