Marcel Salomon
a vendu une trentaine d'instruments(dont les 14 présentés
ici) à Georges
Harding,
qui possédait un musée dans sa propriété de
Chicago.
Après sa mort en 1939, le musée resta ouvert
au public jusque dans les années 1950. Malheureusement la collection
fut ensuite dispersée ... lors d'une vente
aux enchères à New
York en 1976
Marce Salomon sold theese intruments to Georges
Harding in Chicago. Unfortunately the collection was dispersed to the ends
of the earth. Several of the instruments turned up in a low end sale
at Sotheby’s in New York in the 1980’s. "..." tried
to buy one of them, an oval traveling clavichord in what looked like
a
double violin case. "..." was out bid by a Swiss collector
named Wolfgang Ruff ( a collection worth looking into ). The only other
instrument
"..." knows about is the famous Ruckers double virginal which
is in a German museum >>>.
