This is a free encyclopedia. We are not exploiting her estate to use it in a benign fashion. It is fitting to have a photo of the grand artist. She passed away nearly a century ago. Can we not just let the issue sit, until a challenge arises? Dogru144 02:26, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
The emphasized phrase in the sentence below was removed as a statement of personal opinion (as well as for being clumsily expressed):
It may be so that Landowska's use of such instruments has had an adverse impact on contemporary appreciation of her recordings - but no source for this is cited, no quote from a standard authority or standard work is given. As to expression, it wouldn't be the modern harpsichords themselves that did the harm, it would be her use of them in the recordings. JTGILLICK ( talk) 05:56, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

the harpsichord featuring in the image titled "Wanda Landowska in 1937" is (or at least appears on closer inspection) the same harpsichord that features in image titled "A favourite 16th-century Landowska harpsichord from her collection, with painting on lid attributed to Verocchio, presently housed in Hans Adler memorial music collection." 124.171.64.159 ( talk) 10:52, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
