Robertson Harpsichords was officially founded in 1995 .
I have created over 60 unique instruments owned by musicians, collectors as well as churches and universities around the world.
As an undergraduate I studied both Biology and Harpsichord at Indiana University. As a freshman college student at age 19 I made a copy of the 1745 Dulcken harpsichord for the Early music Institute there. My harpsichord was used for years as the main teaching instrument and is still being played there.
After College I went on to study medicine for nearly 4 years at the Medical College of Wisconsin. As I "couldn't keep the music out of my head" so I re-enrolled at Indiana University to pursue a Masters degree in harpsichord performance.
My Spouse Seana Robertson is my business partner and she manages the office and all the financial aspects.
Some of my Harpsichord and Piano teachers included, Dr. Kenneth Mays for piano at Wheaton College, Illinois. Gladys Christensen at Wheaton College, Naomi Rowley, at Elmhurst College, Dr. Kenneth Dorsch and Elisabeth Wright at the Historical Performance Institute at Indiana University where I have also maintained and tuned harpsichords and other early keyboard instruments as an independent contractor.
My Institutional customers include:
Indiana University, Early Music Institute, Bloomington, IN
DePauw University, Greencastle, IN
Southeast Missouri State University, Cape Girardeau, MO
Oklahoma Baptist University, Shawnee, OK
