Well... I have all the bits (including the family harpsichord now). I just haven't had time to put it all together... some day. I too am officially curious about this combination. I can tell you that the Beethoven pieces work very nicely on the gut-strung instrument in fourths played with the fingers. Mozart is nicer still!
Of course, opinions we got lots of... :-)

"The effect is pretty at first... It is disquieting to find that there are nineteen people in England who can play the mandolin; and I sincerely hope the number may not increase."
