More harpsichord stuff @ http://www.hpschd.nu

A silent selection of harpsichords from around the world that have suffered with transit damage, the ravages of climatic extreme, structural failure or neglect.

All is not as bad as it may seem: Many of these harpsichords have been successfully repaired. Only five are presently unplayable.

  • What is this?

  • The video is described fully in the attached text.

  • Oh my! :( I guess that keeps you busy in repair work. But I'm sure you'd rather be building harpsichords than repairing them. Yes?

  • The field maintenance has become a speciality, and I learn something from every harpsichord I see. I still enjoy building instruments, but probably am able to average about one a year with my travel commitments.

  • They will pay for what they have done to this Harpsichord. They will surely be charged with 15 counts of felony aggravated assault on a harpsichord, attempted murder, felony neglect of an instrument. This could also be prosecuted as a hate crime under New York state law. I hope the D.A. throws the livre at em....

  • I once saw a Sabathil double with 16' where the soundboard had released from the belly rail AND spine, and the hitchpin liner had pulled away from the double bentside at the treble and bass. The bentside was noticeably rolled in, and the registers (four!) were jammed solid. I don't know the instrument's fate, but I told him it would be a long expensive road to playability.

  • Looks like they went through a tornado!

  • Oh the horror!

  • There is no point to this video.

  • "Busted Harpsichords" may have been a more accurate title...

  • I repair things on my "day job". To me these "horrors" represent challenges to be overcome and not tragedies to be mourned.

    The tough part for me would be the wait to play while I'm repairing it.....

  • I know I'm going to have nightmares tonight

  • look like a city after war whit full of corspe
