I am enjoying this book immensely but there is a glaring error that the author and/or editors should have caught. Catherine sits down at the harpsichord but then starts moving the pumps. Harpsichords have quills that pluck the strings for sound. An organ of the time would have had pumps that moved bellows to produce the sound. This had to be an organ as mentioned by the Capt. not a harpsichord as insisted. Sad.
