Given in loving memory of James B. Naylor (June 10, 1987–October 9, 2003), the Italian harpsichord was built in 2005 by Matthias Griewisch, Bammental, Germany. This elegant instrument, with a false inner-outer (built in one case), is based on Italian models, particularly on the harpsichords of Giovanni Ferrini, a pupil of Bartolomeo Cristofori, who was given the credit for inventing the pianoforte. The instrument’s compass is GG-d’’’, and is transposable. This builder was specifically recommended by the eminent Dutch harpsichordist and conductor Gustav Maria Leonhardt. The instrument was dedicated on October 9, 2005.
