Has your ensemble always wanted to play with a harpsichord, but you just couldn’t afford one? Are you worried about the maintenance requirements, or intimidated by the constant retuning?
Now A. F. Bach has made it easy for you. We have created a new digital harpsichord and are making it available for rental in the central New Jersey area & beyond.
We have made it a priority to include features specifically intended for
harpsichord performances instead of throwing in a “harpsichord sound” as an
afterthought.

It does not require tuning, but can be tuned to 440, 415, 432, or any other
common A4 frequency. It can also be tuned in historical temperaments (such
as Kirnberger, Werckmeister, or Vallotti) if desired. Now you can enjoy the
key color that you’re missing from equal temperament! If no specific tuning
is specified, it will be tuned in the Bach/Lehman temperament.
