Single Manual Flemish Harpsichord
by William Elder
Columbia, Maryland 1991
$6500
A solid traditional, versatile, and good looking instrument by a skilled builder. Professionally maintained. Only two owners. The original owner, a professional musician, upgraded. The second owner, a serious amateur musician family, found they were never using it because they were too in love with the 1866 Erard grand I fixed up for them to play the harpsichord.
