Description

Finchcocks is a fine Georgian manor set in a beautiful garden, surrounded by parkland. It now houses a celebrated collection of over 100 historical keyboard instruments, of which around forty are in full working order. Finchcocks is truly a living museum with entertaining demonstrations of the instruments for all visitors, which are as appealing to the non-musician as they are to the specialist. www.finchcocks.co.uk
