SOLD: Wittmayer 51-Note Harpsichord circa 1960
This single-manual instrument built by German harpsichord maker Kurt Wittmayer has been newly cleaned, refurbished, and outfitted with brand new strings in our shop. In order to give the instrument a mellow voice, we have used softer metals—like brass and iron—for strings, where before the instrument used steel wire. The mid-century modern style featuring an angular case, compact design, and beautiful wood cathedral in the lid make this harpsichord not only an affordable musical instrument, but a work of art.
