Methinks you are correct - it does sound like the Baldwin electric harpsichord, which is a rare SOB. That thing was all over the Partridge Family records, and I believe that Roger Manning played one on the Jellyfish albums. Sometimes you can approximate the sound on a Clavinet (example: "I'll Be There" by the J5), but the characteristic sound of the jack hitting the strings after the key is released isn't as pronounced. There are good harpsichord samples around - Kurzweil has some exceptional ones, which in fact I use on the last Oohs album in a few places. I plan to use it on our next disc too!
