William Dowd

William Dowd (28 February 1922, Newark, New Jersey — 25 November 2008, Reston, Virginia) was an American harpsichord maker, one of the early XX-century revivalists of historical building techniques. Between 1949 and 1958, Dowd worked in partnership with Frank Hubbard (1920—1976), later running an independent workshop in Cambridge until his retirement in 1988.
