harpsichord manual,..thanks!

[Mark Cramer]

Thanks for all the helpful replies.

Earlier in the year I asked assistance on how to replace a harpsichord
string, and also received much help.

I compiled your suggestions and made copies for a faculty memeber and
conservatory teacher with vested interests in this instrument.

They came to the shop and each experimented a few times, then we went to the
collegium, and I "supervised" the install.

They did a fine job, I have yet to actually replace a string myself, and
"Tom Sawyer" will forever be my hero!  (next to Homer Simpson of course):>)

Thanks for the added bit of wisdom Avery, also, I understand the library is
looking for books to purchase.

So to recall the take-home line from Amadeus,.. "there it is!"

Many harpsichordists do some of their own work, so that would also
be a possibility. Do you have someone on faculty or in the community?
Just a thought.
