Rutgers has a Regier which is a good instrument.  It is a synthesis of
instruments made between 1790 and 1810 but leans toward the Stricker
designs.

I tuned it once a week when it was used as a teaching istrument or
before recitals.  A small instrument but exquisite cabinet and wood
work work

The middle C key could be switched with another and the action shifted
down so it could be played at 415 but they never didi that.  I just
tuned it at 430 upon request.
