It was a treat to see the collection of historical keyboard instruments belonging to the late Christopher Hogwood at the salerooms in Bath this week. It's not often collections such as these appear on the open market, and there were some magnificent instruments, particularly the 1761 clavichord by Johann Adolph Hass.
Many of the instruments fetched well above their estimates, and I hope many if not all will remain here in the UK to be admired for generations to come, rather than end up in private overseas collections.
