Wish I Had This Book Long Ago
Many years ago a brother and I built a harpsichord from a kit.If we would have had this book, it sure would have made it easier.It is clear and concise, packed with information any harpsichord owner or someone contemplating a harpsichord purchase should have.

This is the ultimate book for harpsichord owners
I've bought a few books over the past few weeks on the subject but each of the other books only touched briefly on how a harpsichord works. This book has it all. There were ample illustrations and an excellent description of each part and what it does. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in the working of a harpsichord or considering building/purchasing one.

A comprehensive, well written reference
I used this book as the main source of advice (along with the help of a professional) when I rebuilt a partially completed harpsichord.I was able to succesfully perform repairs, restring, install new set of jacks,regulate, adjust stagger, and voice a Flemish single.Every time I raninto a problem I was able to find it addressed in the book in very clearterms.I would recommend this book to any harpsichord owner who does hisor her own repairs and regulation.

detailed harpsichord history, construction and maintenance
I read this book as a first-time owner of a partially-built harpsichordwhich I hope to complete. As such, my experience with and knowledge ofharpsichords was limited to practically zero, although I was musicallytrained and played several instruments in the past.With that in mind, Iproceed...

Mr. Kottick seems to know his subject thoroughly, althoughhe's VERY opinionated about certain construction techniques and disdainfulof those who experiment with their own ideas. Perhaps this is deservedlythe case, perhaps not. At times, he assumes the reader has virtually noknowledge,but the book lacks a glossary, which is sorely needed. Thisshortcoming makes it difficult for a beginning builder or owner tounderstand the meanings of terms as yet unknown. More photos of harpsichordparts would be useful. Even so, the book is a necessity in the library ofany harpsichord enthusiast. ... Read more

Comprehensive
This book is totally amazing i got it to study up on some of the more popular historical temperaments before i started to tune them and expirement with them on some pieces i am playing and it astounded me on several occasions. His explanations are clear and easy to understand and the history he provides is very pertinent and valuable. If any of you out there have this book and are looking to sell I'd like another copy so send me an email at Ira_parrot@yahoo.com

Good Book but not always can buy !
I saw this book few times, I like the flowing on each character of ear training. But this is a old book, so it was not easy to fund. ... Read more

On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners focusing on pianos, automatic pianos, harpsichords, and other keyboard stringed instruments in France face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying pianos, automatic pianos, harpsichords, and other keyboard stringed instruments to France? How important is France compared to others in terms of the entire global and regional market? How much do the imports of pianos, automatic pianos, harpsichords, and other keyboard stringed instruments vary from one country of origin to another in France? On the supply side, France also exports pianos, automatic pianos, harpsichords, and other keyboard stringed instruments. Which countries receive the most exports from France? How are these exports concentrated across buyers? What is the value of these exports and which countries are the largest buyers?This report was created for strategic planners, international marketing executives and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for pianos, automatic pianos, harpsichords, and other keyboard stringed instruments in France. With the globalization of this market, managers can no longer be contented with a local view. Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics which appear several years after the fact. I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for pianos, automatic pianos, harpsichords, and other keyboard stringed instruments for those countries serving France via exports, or supplying from France via imports. It does so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models.In what follows, Chapter 2 begins by summarizing where France fits into the world market for imported and exported pianos, automatic pianos, harpsichords, and other keyboard stringed instruments. The total level of imports and exports on a worldwide basis, and those for France in particular, is estimated using a model which aggregates across over 150 key country markets and projects these to the current year. From there, each country represents a percent of the world market. This market is served from a number of competitive countries of origin. Based on both demand- and supply-side dynamics, market shares by country of origin are then calculated across each country market destination. These shares lead to a volume of import and export values for each country and are aggregated to regional and world totals. In doing so, we are able to obtain maximum likelihood estimates of both the value of each market and the share that France is likely to receive this year. From these figures, rankings are calculated to allow managers to prioritize France compared to other major country markets. In this way, all the figures provided in this report are forecasts that can be combined with internal information sources for strategic planning purposes. ... Read more

Based on both demand- and supply-side dynamics, market shares by country of origin are then calculated across each country market destination. These shares lead to a volume of import and export values for each country and are aggregated to regional and world totals. In doing so, we are able to obtain maximum likelihood estimates of both the value of each market and the share that Italy is likely to receive this year. From these figures, rankings are calculated to allow managers to prioritize Italy compared to other major country markets. In this way, all the figures provided in this report are forecasts that can be combined with internal information sources for strategic planning purposes. ... Read more

On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners focusing on pianos, automatic pianos, harpsichords, and other keyboard stringed instruments in Singapore face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying pianos, automatic pianos, harpsichords, and other keyboard stringed instruments to Singapore? How important is Singapore compared to others in terms of the entire global and regional market? How much do the imports of pianos, automatic pianos, harpsichords, and other keyboard stringed instruments vary from one country of origin to another in Singapore? On the supply side, Singapore also exports pianos, automatic pianos, harpsichords, and other keyboard stringed instruments. Which countries receive the most exports from Singapore? How are these exports concentrated across buyers? What is the value of these exports and which countries are the largest buyers?This report was created for strategic planners, international marketing executives and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for pianos, automatic pianos, harpsichords, and other keyboard stringed instruments in Singapore. With the globalization of this market, managers can no longer be contented with a local view. Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics which appear several years after the fact. I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for pianos, automatic pianos, harpsichords, and other keyboard stringed instruments for those countries serving Singapore via exports, or supplying from Singapore via imports. It does so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models.In what follows, Chapter 2 begins by summarizing where Singapore fits into the world market for imported and exported pianos, automatic pianos, harpsichords, and other keyboard stringed instruments. The total level of imports and exports on a worldwide basis, and those for Singapore in particular, is estimated using a model which aggregates across over 150 key country markets and projects these to the current year. From there, each country represents a percent of the world market. This market is served from a number of competitive countries of origin. Based on both demand- and supply-side dynamics, market shares by country of origin are then calculated across each country market destination. These shares lead to a volume of import and export values for each country and are aggregated to regional and world totals.
