What's on the wall
“My experience with HCH was great and helped alleviate my frustration with the lack of sources for harpsichord parts here in the US.”
From the reviews
Quality instruments, excellent skilled staff and superior customer service. I understand why they have been in business for 48 years! Highly recommended.
I recently had emailed Harpsichord Clearing House (HCH) for help with identifying and sourcing a few spare parts for my French double manual harpsichord. Much to my surprise, a short time later I received a call from Mr. Glenn Giuttari with HCH. Mr. Giuttari was extremely helpful and also quite knowledgeable.
They have amazing service and their instruments are impeccable. I am a harpsichord builder and I recommend them with reservation.
I highly recommend the harpsichord clearing house. They are professional and their work is impeccable. I recently purchased an instrument that now lives in Arizona, and I couldn't be happier!
Selling or trading gear at Harpsichord Clearing House
Harpsichord Clearing House comes up for buying and trading used gear — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the trip go better. First, bring the whole package: the case or gig bag, the original tremolo arm or bridge parts, the paperwork if you have it — a complete rig is worth real money more than a bare instrument, and it saves the back-and-forth of "can you bring the case in?" Second, know that trade credit almost always beats the cash offer, usually by a healthy margin — if you're upgrading anyway, price your old gear as a trade against the new one before you take cash. Either way, expect the offer to be below what the gear sells for on the wall; the gap is the store's margin for setup, warranty, and sitting on it until the right buyer walks in.
