Came across this in my travels. Unrestored, in pristine, original condition.

About Me
- Dale Munschy
- South Weymouth, Massachusetts, United States
- After a 20+ years career as a professional pianist/musician, with a secondary, 30 years career tuning and restoring pianos, I have focused my interests and efforts in the building and restoration of historical stringed keyboard instruments, an extremely rewarding, sometimes challenging endeavor. To date, I have designed and built three harpsichords, specifically, a Flemish Double, a transposing Flemish Single, and a double transposing French Single. I have done countless restorations of harpsichords, virginals, clavichords, and fortepianos by builders including Dowd, Herz, Sutherland, Challis, Dolmetsch, Russell, Pleyel, and Belt. I have recently completed the restorations of a Stodart Compensator Grand Fortepiano, makers no.7388, circa 1827/28, and an 1806 Broadwood grand fortepiano, makers number 3448. I have restored instruments for Harvard University, The Curtis Institute of Music, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Clark University, and have an extensive client list of prominent harpsichordists and fortepianists.

ReplyDeleteI have an opportunity to acquire an unfinished 1789. I really love the instrument but have no idea of value and not does the owner. What would you think a fair price range might be?
ReplyDeleteWithout having seen the instrument, I would offer $1,200-$1,500 USD.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting instrument. What is the functionality of the keys?
