It is really cool. And it’s great too because you can change the tuning, volume, etc. etc. to match your ensemble. The thing is, it’s not actually that complicated, especially if you built it based on a normal pre-midified keyboard rather than pipe organ keyboards that need wiring. Plop a midi keyboard in a box, hook up a few powered monitors and go.
I have used a bare-bones keyboard with external speakers just set on the floor up in our organ loft multiple times since my arrival here and it’s always worked really well. There are also excellent harpsichord samplesets (Mietke) which are a lot of fun and have wayyyyy more realism and detail than standard keyboard samples. I’ve used my rig with harpsichord to do Handel a few times and we have good fun.
I’ve also debated rigging up a semi-permanent harpsichord at home. I thought about building something akin to a clavichord but rather than having a sound board, having a MMG electrostatic panel mounted horizontally in its place. I bet the effect would be stunningly real.
