I think it's just keyboards sounding like harpsichord on Gail (Kip Winger is credited with playing keyboards on that song)
I am unable to check right now, but there was a similar 'effect' created on 'Skeletons in my Closet' wasn't there?
And I don't mean to split hairs here, but really, isn't the Harpsichord a keyboard instruments (one of the oldest actually), in any case?

True, it's a keyboard instrument.
Anyway, I don't know for certain if it was a real harpsichord or a keyboard sounding like one. I was just guessing on the later since it's more common that when someone's listed as playing keyboards it actually refers to keyboards and not keyboard instruments in general.

There is other brass to, in Steven at least (nevermind the whole friggin' orchestra in that one)
I eargerly await the use of bagpipes.
Actually, wait.. no I don't.
Time To Kilt would be a great addition to the setlist.
If I may put forward a slice of personal colostomy...

OK, thanks Swinger - as you have spent some time perusing the credits I wondered if you knew wether it was one thing or the other.
In fairness to you, I would guess that a true Harpsichord would be a strange (and somewhat delicate )instrument to import into a studio when a multi-purpose and robust electronic keyboard could produce the same sound?
