Woodberry’s Hornady Studies Harpsichord Maintenance
Wallace Hornady, music department chair, traveled to France last summer to learn to maintain the school’s eleven-year-old harpsichord. Supported by a faculty incentive grant, he traveled to the Paris studio of the harpsichord’s original maker, Reinhard von Nagel.
Shortly after returning to the Forest, Wallace began to work on the school’s instrument, which had fallen into disrepair after the unexpected death of its U.S. technician. He wrote: “I am happy to report that at this point one whole keyboard is playable, giving me great hope for the second. As I work on it, I think of the whole community of people I have been blessed to know because of it.”
