I can spot a Klop organ from 100 yards! This reminds me of my days exhibiting at the Boston Early Music Festival with the Harpsichord Clearing House. Great times! I miss them. Is that a Dowd being played? Beautiful.

@virginiaorganbuilder Two Klops, in fact. All the instruments are identified in the accompanying text: The harpsichord Yuko is playing is by Kevin Fryer 1987.

A very nice-sound instrument and a very good interpretation indeed.

I would be in heaven if I was there!
