Keyboards has been serving the performing community of the New
York metropolitan area for over 30 years. Our reputation for quality,
service and integrity is known throughout the music industry.
With our history of satisfying clients such as the New York Philharmonic,
the Orchestra of St. Lukes, and Lincoln Center for the Performing
Arts, we can assure you that the instruments provided by Baroque
Keyboards will satisfy the most discriminating of tastes.We have
the finest selection of harpsichords and continuo organs available
for rental or purchase in the New York area. Our services include
cartage, tuning and consultation. We will be happy to discuss
your performance needs and to arrange for your instrument to be
delivered, tuned and customized to your requirements. We pride
ourselves on our impeccable and friendly service.
Whereas many of our regular clients include well known artists
performing in New York's most prestigious concert halls, we are
equally eager to satisfy our lesser known clientele. We regularly
provide instruments for educational institutions, small concert
venues, and parties.
Part
of the service we provide is helping select the right instrument
for the situation. There are many sizes of harpsichords, with
different sound qualities and different dispositions. Tunings
and temperaments must match the needs of the performers. Most
of our instruments can be tuned to any desired pitch and temperament.
This site is designed to help understand and resolve some of these
issues. Click on harpsichords to see some of these differences.
