The Swiss-based Chilean virtuoso Catalina Vicens has run a successful crowdfunding campaign to enable her to release a recording on a 16th-harpsichord at the National Music Museum, in Vermillion, South Dakota.

The instrument is claimed to be the oldest of its kind still in play. But is it?

Harpsi-friends, help us out, please.

Meantime, enjoy Catalina.
