The addition of a harpsichord to the Faith Lutheran collection of Sanctuary keyboard instruments has been made possible by an anonymous donor’s gift, given to the glory of God in honor of Martin Luther and Faith Lutheran's ministry of music, in memory of the donor's father, and in memory of Pastor Jeremy Fuerst, who, during the first fifteen months of the pandemic, became a "second pastor" to Faith.

The harpsichord, a double-manual instrument after late 18th-century Parisian examples, began its life c. fifty years ago. In 1993 it was rebuilt – a refait, as the old French builders would have called it – by Willard Martin, a legendary builder of early keyboard instruments in the United States and in Europe.

Previously owned by a musician in Oregon, the harpsichord was last month restrung, requilled, the action regulated and the quills voiced by Seattle's own Henry Lebedinsky.
