Our member, Roger Greenwood, is offering for sale his C80 Digital Harpsichord due to a recent house move. Bought new about 15 years ago for about £2000, it is still in good condition both physically and musically, having been played regularly until recently. It is triangular in plan with 5 octaves compas and 8 registers including 2 organ stops. It has 3 detachable legs and easily transportable, (it has been taken in a Micra before now). A typical valuation seems to be £1500-2000, and the instrument is based in Crosby, Liverpool.
Please contact Roger at rlgreenwood1939@btinternet.com for more information and photographs (the image shown is taken from the Roland website).
The C-80 authentically reproduces five realistic timbres of an acoustic harpsichord and other Baroque orchestra sounds, celesta and two continuo organ timbres. “Early music” enthusiasts can revel in a period-authentic instrument with all of the advantages of digital technology—no tuning required and no maintenance costs. The C-80’s historical temperaments, Baroque tunings and authentic key action provide a powerful instrument for the discriminating Baroque musician.
