	Welcome to CLAVIERS BAROQUES     We build, sell, service, repair, rent, restore, tune, and transport harpsichords, clavichords, spinets, virginals, forte pianos and other historical keyboard instruments. Our shop is in Toronto, Ontario Canada, but our "territory" is much larger. With our trusty Van Strype we travel regularly to visit our clients and their instruments in the provinces of Ontario and Quebec, and the states of Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana; New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts and both Carolinas (we really like that, do call us if you are from a warm place!). We also do consulting and appraisals as well as sales and service. If you are looking for a harpsichord, or just want to find out more about them, you've come to the right place.

Today's special !

Spring has arrived in Toronto at last, and along with the flowers there are twelve, eleven (sold one already!), twelve, thirteen (got another one two in! and sold another one) count them, new listings on our used harpsichord pages. Updated May 20, 2008 And we've got more Harpsichord Expert articles, too: How to move a harpsichord (coming soon) How to amplify a harpsichord, dedicated to soundmen everywhere.

• Instruments available -- new, used (updated May 20, 2008); buy, sell, lease or rent.
• Service-- tuning, repairs, maintenance. We service the instruments that we build, of course, but we are happy to work on nearly any keyboard instrument except modern pianos (it's not that we don't like them, we just don't have the right tools). And we travel! Consult our travel schedule or check your local newspaper to see when we will be in your area. Want to keep your instrument in top-notch shape? We have maintenance packages available.
