A few years ago, I attended a ""sing along Messiah"" event in Austin. I was told that Michael from Christian\r
Brothers had tuned the harpsichord that was used in the performance. I have a long musical background both as a strings player and as a singer, and have been around a lot of harpsichords. Let me just say I have never heard any of them sound like this one did that night. Michael had put some very special, hard to describe ""magic touch"" into the sound of this instrument. The notes had a beautiful extra something that made them really carry and be heard, even in that large, crowded venue. I can only describe it as a ""singing"" quality I have encountered in other pianos Michael has tuned. I can't imagine why a person would have anyone else tune or work on his/her piano.
