RE: John Challis harpsichords- the hubris of wrong-minded engineering

66.143.32.7

I so agree with your assessment of the Challis. John built for me a two manual 16,8,4. He and I discussed this configuration. I gave up an independent 8 foot and he placed the plectra to pluck the 8 foot on the upper manual in a different area so that it has it's own distinct sound. It has it's limitations but..the sound of the 16,8 and 4 on the lower manual is overwhelming! John was a dear friend from the old days in Detroit, MI and until the day he died...we remained good friends...he is always missed.
