[rodgersorgan] Advice on how to buy....


Good advice from a harpsichord builder...

"Play as many different instruments as you can.   With some, you will 
quickly tire of their sound, or they will fight you at every turn 
because of an inconsistent, unresponsive action.  On the other hand, 
some will draw you in, entice you to play more, and actually seem to 
make you a better player.   In reality, these instruments are simply 
allowing you to be a better player because they don't have any vices of 
their own to hold you back.  Look for quality workmanship in the case 
and clean execution in the details.  All case joints should be tight, 
string spacing even, wire loops and tuning pin windings consistent, and, 
of course, the entire case should be nicely finished.  These are all 
signs of competent, professional work.  Finally, and most important, the 
instrument should sell itself.  No amount of rhetoric from a builder can 
make an instrument sound, play, or look any better."
