Pictorial Review of a May Term Experience: Building a Harpsichord

Students from Dr. Jim March's May Term class built a harpsichord from "scratch."

A table full of harpsichord parts right out of the box from Zuckermann Harpsichords, Inc. The harpsichord builders (left to right): Jenn Van Otterloo, Devora Geller, Drew Walker, Hitomi Nozawa,  and Wataru Kakutani (Akio Lis not pictured).
Akio Lis (in blue) installs the first cross frame to the bottom of the instrument. Dr. Jim March steadies the case frame as Hitomi Nozawa prepares to install the left case side.
Jenn Van Otterloo and Drew Walker put finishing touches on stand parts. Drew Walker installs lid hinges.
