How much do harpsichords cost?
*Good* harpsichords start at around $10,000 CAD for a new single manual instrument, such as our Canadian single, and go up to $25,000 CAD for a new French or Flemish or German double. Large singles such as the Flemish and bigger Iberian types will run up to $15,000 CAD or so, depending on size. Here are prices for some of the models we build to give you an idea. BTW, spinets cost about the same as regular single-manual instruments — they aren’t really any smaller, they are just a different shape so they take up less wall space. Also, the prices here are for instruments without fancy decoration. A soundboard painting can cost as much as the instrument, and full-out fancy decoration can triple or quadruple the cost of a new instrument.
