Dr. Joyce Lindorff (Boyer College of Music and Dance) performs Hush Every Breeze on Nelly's new harpsichord. This unique instrument is a replication of an original artifact and was meticulously hand-built over two and a half years by John Watson, Conservator of Early Keyboard Instruments. It can be seen on view in the New Room at Mount Vernon this summer.
