One of very few musical instrument makers in Maryland, Cembaloworks of Washington is the place to order your harpsichord, clavichord or virginal. Made of a variety of species of wood, the instruments are beautifully designed with various inlaid patterns demonstrating the great skill and artistry of their maker and business owner, Mark A. Adler. Founded in 1973, prices range from $18,000 to $34,000. These beautiful instruments are custom-made for this niche market. The business provides tuning, repair, appraisal and rental services. At this location in Preserve Industrial Park since 1994, Cembaloworks is open on an irregular basis, so it is advised to call before visiting. A copy of a harpsichord in the Smithsonian that was built in 1745 in Antwerp, Belgium is rented out for concerts.
Rovner Products is one of the world's largest producers of ligatures for woodwind instruments. The company was the first to produce and patent the type of ligature which it still offers today, and this is the choice of numerous musicians worldwide. Because most transactions are conducted online or through commercial partners, this building, the manufacturing facility, is not open to the public as a sales site.
