  The Fall and Rise of Harpsichord 6

  In August 1956, a beautiful new harpsichord arrived in Wellington aboard the RMS Rangitoto. It had been purchased from its maker, Thomas Goff of London, by the New Zealand Broadcasting Service for use by the National Orchestra in baroque repertoire. Why was this instrument so special and what went wrong when it got to New Zealand? Where is it now? Was there a happy ending? James Gardner delves into the surprisingly colourful and quirky story of a harpsichord and its maker and talks to several people with connections to the instrument (RNZ)
