Any studios with celestas, harps, harpsichords?

I would love to have a harpsichord.
I used the Yamaha P80 harpsichord setting on a rock ´n roll/ Garage band some time ago. Harpsichord through a pickle pedal through a wha in one position through a guitar amp with loads of mid boost eq slammed to tape.
Sounded like an organ from hell. Really cool. Almost like a 60´s organ with full overdrive. The harpsichord sound was fully lost though. I had a great time coming up with that sound. Would´ve loved to have a real harpsichord to fine tune that sound lol.

My studio has two harpsichords.

One is a Sassman kit type with plastic plectra. It sounds like a harpsichord! It is difficult to keep in tune and to keep the action stable.

The second was just given to us. It's a double manual with all-wood plectra and is much more of a serious instrument. We haven't set it up yet so I don't know much more about it.
