Bob- Call Zuckerman Harpsichords. They provide excellent, friendly support on all their kits from the Zuckerbox forward.

I don't know if this was a kit or not, but the coils on the pins are not very neat, so I suspect it's a kit. When I tune it to A-440, strings break. I've currently tuned it to A-415 (one semi-tone flat), but the music director isn't happy transposing everything. I'm betting the bridge is in the wrong place, causing the string tension to reach the breaking point at A-440. I'd be interested in any suggestions on a cost-effective fix.
