Description
The Boston school of harpsichord building was more than just a craft or business ; it was a concept, a philosophy and an ideal. Founded in 1949 by William Dowd and Frank Hubbard, and joined by Eric Herz several years later, these three pioneers set out to build harpsichords in the styles of the great masters of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. They succeded, perhaps beyond their wildest dream, and over a period of fifty years produced more than 1000 instruments, effectively transforming the harpsichord landscape in America and throughout much of the world
