anyone own a harpsichord?

[PlanktonSideburns]

Would love to have one

How much would I have to pay to get a basic one second hand?

[NoSleep]

Expensive and need lots of maintenance, I would guess. A cheap secondhand one would definitely cost you in repairs. And after all that all the notes play at the same volume no matter how hard or soft you hit the keys (as they're plucked).

Selecting a harpsichord preset is going to be the way to go.

[PlanktonSideburns]

I want to put a wig on and be mozart tho

[PlanktonSideburns]

Just moving into a house with a nice living room, it's dying for a 'chord in the corner

What would Mozart do if he was around today?

[rue the polywhirl]

Get a Roland harpsichord. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AP2cBXKgJw4 If Mozart was alive today he'd probably be burning his fingers across this here C-30 as a product ambassador. If you wanted second hand you could probably get one for 3k.

Th parents of some friends of mine were big noises in the Early Music scene, so they had viols, sackbuts, serpents etc by the dozen. I think they had a harpsichord, but it might have been a virginal. I had the odd prod at it, but half the notes seemed not to work.

Gryphon?

The only person I've ever known who owns a harpsichord has transpired to be a nonce

[PlanktonSideburns]

If he's banged up is his harpsichord knocking about?

[The Mollusk]

I had one but it was doing my fucking head in so I chucked it in the canal

[PlanktonSideburns]

bet it made a great noise as it hit the water

[idunnosomename]

i've got a casio keyboard i got from argos many years ago. lots of fun rhythms and effects. and the demo mode with dvorak and beethoven

[pancreas]

Download Hauptwerk and the Cembalo Mieke 'organ' for it. It's a brilliant sampled harpsichord. Better than the Roland thing.

[Non Stop Dancer]

Gryphon?

No thanks, I've already eaten.

[Glebe]

[ASFTSN]

Gryphon?

Gryphon- the "cool" side of early music.

[Stoneage Dinosaurs]

My uncle makes them and sells them professionally. I've been in his workshop once and it was pretty cool. Think he's one of the very very few UK ones who does that so I guess that's a sort of really rubbish claim to fame

[PlanktonSideburns]

Gonna get a casio sa 46 and nail it to a beurau instead

The one I got in the late 80's played wake me up before you go go, yours must be ancient if beethoven was the contemporary demo.

[Ferris]

No cunt actually owns a harpsichord you lunatic.

Just press "harpsichord" on your cheap Casio keyboard like the rest of us.

This is the fella you wanna get. As used on Different Drum, Both Sides Now (Judy version) and Because:

It was a guy who taught me keyboard for a few months in 1993.  He was the replacement for my original teacher who stopped due to ill health, so I had to be driven fairly long distances every Saturday to his house, which I found tedious, as was his lessons.  My mum was always waiting in the living room (it was miles out of town) while the lesson went on, so needless to say I did not get nonced.  Years later, he got done for having a considerable amount of stinky stuff on his hard drive.  "most of the images were of young boys partially dressed in erotic poses with no sexual activity", all that, he never got the clink or anything, just was put on the list and publicly shamed.  Anyway, when this was reported it appeared he still stayed at the same address, so I suppose it would still be possible to steal his harpsichord if I could morally justify doing so.

[PlanktonSideburns]

That'd be great cheers
