The AFMM / Dylan Horvath may deliver something in '07.
Here's hoping.

You can already buy a Starr Labs Uath keyboard

and the more I think about it, the more I think I will.

2-manual harpsichords aren't terribly hard to find, but usually
the manuals are either coupled, or play stops of different
registration/timbre.
