Rediscovering Waltham’s Harpsichord History
It all started with a tucked away piece of paper: Charles River Museum Director of Education Steve Guerriero wondered, “why is building #5 labelled harpsichord factory?” In under two months, the team dove into the harpsichord’s story, researching and interviewing veteran builders and harpsichordists to illuminate a new angle on Greater Boston’s Harpsichord History. The exhibit saw over 80 visitors on its first night, along with a live demo by BU Professor Emeritus Mark Kroll.
