I have found these Zuckermann harpsichords to be remarkably reliable and pleasant to play. This 1978 example has a compass BB - d3, but the lower notes may be tuned to a short-octave arrangement. It is quite compact - 6' 3" x 31½" (190 x 80 cm).
This example is beautifully decorated in the Flemish style, with authentic papers and a painted soundboard.
It has the standard Flemish disposition of 8' + 4', plus a buff to the 8'.
Everything looks neat and tidy. The harpsichord has been regularly maintained and tuned; it is at baroque pitch and in full playing order. It is located in Suffolk, where it may be viewed. 'A Guide to the Harpsichord', metronome and tuner included.
Price £4,900 or near offer.
