INTRODUCTION ••• Welcome to Sounding Board No.13 ••• Thank you for your patience, we are sorry that it has now been well over a year since the last edition of Sounding Board. We rely on the good will of very busy people to take on the role of Guest Editor, and we were very pleased when Derek Adlam, the harpsichordist and maker of historical keyboard instruments, agreed to take on the challenge. Unfortunately, some time into the project he became ill and reluctantly had to withdraw.
