Harpsichord Wanted 

I am looking for both European and American harpsichord
makers who are willing to sell their instruments 
privately rather than through music stores. Any
names and addresses would be appreciated. 
I am also aware of the harpsichord "kits" which are available,
however, I have been rather unimpressed with them in the
past. Many of the kits, from what I have seen and listened to, 
use poorer quality of wood and don't seem to have as nice of
a tone quality. I also question the abilities of an amateur--
assembling and adjusting the instrument properly is rather
critical to say the least. Previous to working at BTL I free-
lanced as a professional cellist for 5 years. I can therefore
distinquish a good instrument in terms of tone quality, sound
and construction, however, I am not an expert on harpsichords.

Any comments, referrals, advice or suggestions would be
appreciated.
