Harpsichord

I always expect a harpsichord to be an old instrument, but this one is a new build, dated as we can see. It went one step further though, because the harpsichord tuner was there, but oddly something I have never seen before was about to happen. She was tuning the instrument using an App on her iPhone.....that surely must be the ultimate insult to the fine heritage of the harpsichord?

Speak for yourself Giulio - personally I prefer the harpsichord

Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

Giulio, you're uncontrollable!
If the app is pitch perfect why not? My daughter also tunes her guitars with one. Interesting shot John!
