In a few weeks, I'll see if I can put it up on Github or do a more formal packaging.
The harpsichord is a 1960's kit harpsichord (I'm assuming someone bought the pieces and assembled it themselves, thus 'kit') by a maker named Zuckermann. The samples are of two articulations (one "normal", the other with a "lute" setting) as well as some aleatoric effects and thumps. Chromatically sampled, including releases. The entire instrument was equal tempered at 440, so it will sound in tune with all modern instruments. Each key is a little different from the others, so it may seem a little uneven (it is in need of some restoration work). I should also mention- the samples were recorded from the far side of the instrument (i.e. same as that video), so it appears essentially reversed from the player position. This is something you can fix by swapping the channels in each of the files if desired, otherwise it suits an "audience" perspective quite well.

Here's a quick sfz which includes the releases-
Normal.zip (Size: 1.29 KB / Downloads: 3)
(no KS or aleatoric stuff added)
To install the sfz- place it inside "ZuckermannKitHarpsi", place your "Normal" samples inside a folder called "Normal", and inside that folder, put a folder called "Release". In that, put all the "Normal_rel" samples (obviously a little ctrl+R {replace} can be used to circumnavigate all of this by replacing "release/" with "" and removing the "default_path=Normal\" entirely).
Aaand here's a quick demo of that in action-

Overall I'm really impressed with how it turned out! Not as playable as the other VS harpsichords and the low-end is pretty weak I couldn't get proper mics in the space and my laptop is down for the count, so that wouldn't have really done me any favors if I could anyway- so just a recording from a Zoom recorder on a tripod towards the back of the instrument facing the jacks, which thus picks up the high end very nicely but leaves the bass with something to be desired).
