Richard Grill
After a trip to Germany in 2000 for the 250th anniversary of the death of Johann Sebastian Bach, he decided to take harpsichord lessons at Ball State University. As a result of those lessons with Kirby Koriath, his interest in the harpsichord greatly increased.
The instrument arrived in July 2002 and had many pieces in the box. Fortunately, the instruction manual and mylar drawing were a great help. Previous attempts at woodworking projects prompted his doctor to discourage him from any other attempts at building objects with his hands. (He had put a chisel through his palm while making a desk for his wife.) His woodworking skills were slim to none. Numerous telephone calls were made over the next two years to talk with Steve or Richard. With their patience and support, plus the encouragement of his wife, he was able to complete the case painting and stringing during the summer of 2003. Voicing has been going on since then whenever he has some spare time.
