Indiana U, Jacobs School of Music, has a couple. I don't know the  
details, and I don't believe anyone from there is on this list. David  
Jensen (if I am remembering his name right) is the harpsichord,  
portative organ and fortepiano tech there. I spoke to him last summer,  
and he mentioned the instruments.
