Have taken over as tech at a university with 4 harpsichords -- 2 Neuperts, one miniature and one kit (no ID -- possibly a Hubbard or Zucherman). Many missing pectra, strings (including bass), broken jacks / spring wire, etc. In very poor repair. Sticking registers not returning (Neupert), etc. What is a good source, or ANY source, for harpsichord parts such as these? And some good information on harpsichords -- I have the Frank Hubbard small paperback book on repairing and regulating. Also, does anyone have an estimate on purchase price for a Sabathil Harpsichord, 2 register, 4 stops -- built in 1971, Model Opus 64, I believe. And / Or -- how to get in contact with Sabathil. I have tried in Vancouver, BC but no one seems to have a listing or any information, and the Harpsichord Center here thinks they are out of business.... Any information any of you can provide me on harpsichords, particularly regarding the above, will be greatly, greatly, greatly, greatly appreciated!!! Thanks! Dianne
