This Yves Beaupré harpsichord is a wonder, and so is Rebecca Pechefsky's playing. Her touch is just exquisite--makes the instrument sing!

Wonderful performance on a magnifical instrument! By the way, who is the luthier?

[@QuillClassics]

Thank you! The maker is Yves Beaupré of Montreal.

Love the case, but on an Italian? Unusual, no?

[@QuillClassics]

Thanks! The decoration is after motifs on an Italian virginal from the 16th century. It seemed to harmonize nicely with overall design of the instrument.
