    I emailed an order for harpsichord supplies from Instrument Workshop a few weeks ago and have not heard back from them. There web site says that they will re-open soon in March or 2015 with no links to parts or supplies. Can anyone verify that they are open still?

    Thanks,

    John

    Yes we have ordered from them several times this year, and in each case they sent the orders out very quickly, in less than a week, so I am sure it was probably a simple oversight; perhaps they missed your email.  You might try calling (541) 552-0989 or write to info@fortepiano.com .  Lutz's old customers wrote 7777 in the subject line.  That is a sure way to get their attention so they know you are placing an order.

    I received an order in early July (within a week), and corresponded with them in late July/early August. The website was working at that point, though I think they were planning to completely revamp it so as to be able to accept on line orders and payment. Strange that they have that old place saver page up now. The contact I have is Koyanti Amadeus, 541-552-0989.

    If you have no luck, you might contact Anne Acker.

    Hi John, I got some Rose wire from them a couple of months ago. I think I called them, left a message and got a call back the next day. Very friendly and helpful. I don't have the number with me but it should be on the website.

    My order from Instrument Workshop arrived last week. They confirmed that they were having serious email server problems, hence the delay.
