Off topic Harpsichords

2007-12-16 by Mark Pring

Apart from mellotrons I really love baroque keyboard
music, I am painfully learning to play it on the piano
but I think it is best suited to the harpsichord. I
thought I would check out prices,
http://www.keithhillharpsichords.com/harpsichords.html

I think I will keep saving for my mellotron, probably
2010!

Yes, and for a mere 5 bob (give or take a tuppence), Martinge will mount photos of last summer's holidays in Devon on the inside of your mellotron's top cover -- just like the harpsichord maker with his airy-fairy paintings. Hot puppies!!

Tony, they are speaking English. The world would be a lot less interesting if everyone did and said the same things, had the same accent, the same products, the same way of looking at things.

That would make it a bit more convenient, wouldn't it?

Is that a Clavicembalo? Is it the same as a Harpsichord?

Re: [newmellotrongroup] Re: Off topic Harpsichords

2007-12-18 by Mark Pring

I think so but I am beginning to wish I hadn't said
anything!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harpsichord

These things look pretty complicated and probably fun
to tune and maintain.

Now anybody interested in calaiopes ?

Many years ago I retro-fitted a rather broken-down harpsichord with
