Yesterday I received a call from Roundhead Studios. It wasn’t a call for session work or anything utilising my skills as a musician, but instead a request to hire my harpsichord for studio work again. This isn’t the first time my ‘Moermans 1584’ single manual harpsichord has been needed for a session. Last year Anika Moa used the instrument on her 2010 album ‘Love in Motion’. The year before it was used by Roundhead Studios in recording a young artist called Seth Haapu. Haapu has just released his self entitled debut album this month. This time, the artist benefitting from this Baroque-styled instrument is Neil Finn, the owner of Roundhead Studios. Finn is using the keyboard for his own recording project, it will be in the studio this week while I am on tour with Tim Beveridge. Later in the year the harpsichord is scheduled to be recorded by kiwi rock band Elemeno P, this time however I will be playing it as well.
Specifications are listed below:-
1990 Hubbard after Moermans 1584, Single Manual Harpsichord – A great sounding instrument, designed to be portable and used as a ‘gigging’ keyboard.
