[CAUT] Richard Kingston harpsichord parts

[Fred Sturm]

Thanks. That number is no longer in service. Same is true of a number  
I got from Anne Acker. Word in the last few years has been that he was  
ailing and retiring. There are lots of great instruments out there  
that he made. I have a couple in my care.
	This harpsichord parts problem (jack styles in particular, as other  
things can be more easily adapted) has become more and more urgent  
over the years, as we seem to be retreating to Hubbard, Zuckermann,  
and wooden jacks in the US. I suppose Europe probably has more  
variety, but how to find out what there is and obtain it is another  
question.
