I describe how both of my harpsichords work and demonstrate the stops. A close look at the inside. I'd be glad to try to answer any questions you have. Thank you to everyone for your positive feedback. I'm really glad I made this video. FAQ: How old are these and who built them? They are both from the workshop on William Dowd (Boston) and were both made in 1967. What are the strings made of? Iron and the deeper strings are brass. How often do the strings break or need to be replaced? Since my fingers don't touch the strings (unlike the guitar), the strings can last for a long time (decades). I have only ever broken one string and that comes from turning the wrong tuning peg "Hey, this string isn't getting sharper?...(SNAP TWANG!) opps" How much did they cost? Quality used harpsichords can be found for about $8000 for a single manual, to $20000 for a double. Where can I find one? Look online. Just search for harpsichord builder or harpsichord sale. We got ours from a clearing house in Mass. I've seen a used one for $3000. Should I buy it? Be CAREFUL! Some harpsichords were built from kits by amateur woodworkers. Some have major fatal structural flaws. Of course some are good too. If you are going to look at one of those, bring an expert with you. It might not be possible to fix some of these problems and if you are going to need an expert to help you repair a bad harpsichord, you will be spending the same kind of money needed to get a good one.

A normal 17th-Century harpsichord temperament is heard first: regular "1/6 comma meantone". A folk tune (Twinkle, twinkle, little star / ABCDEFG / Ah, vous dirais-je, Maman / Morgen kommt der Weihnachtsmann...) is played in the four keys of D, B, A-flat, and F major. Two of these scales are excellent, and two of them are terrible. The sarabande from Bach's B minor French Suite illustrates the behavior of this minor key: problems with the too-sharp D#, A#, and E# as they occur in the music. Those notes are too sharp because they were tuned for their more common use as Eb, Bb, and F...and in this style of tuning, the correct spelling of the note names matters that much. Then, the harpsichord is retuned by moving six of the 12 notes in each octave. The adjustments are based on a drawing that Bach put on his title page of the "Well-Tempered Clavier"...which I take as his method of adjusting that normal tuning into something more flexible and beautiful. The notes C, D, E, F, G, and A of the C major scale are retained as they were, and the other six notes F#, G#, A#, B, C#, D# (from the B major or F# major scales) are retuned. The same compositions are then played again, to compare the change in harmonic and melodic quality. The regular "1/6 comma meantone" system used here is also known as the 55-tet, or simply the "common" tuning described by 18th century writers: Tosi, Sauveur, Telemann, et al. Enharmonic notes such as D# and Eb are one comma apart. Within a whole tone, such <b>...</b>

the nascent lilies form the 13th Ordre (Vol. 3)harpsichord and video by ernst stolz better quality: www.vimeo.com (presentation in front of Versailles) François Couperin was the most important member of the illustrious Couperin family and was one of the leading composers of the French Baroque era. He is best known for his harpsichord works, all of which are found in the collection of more than 220 pieces entitled Pièces de clavecin, consisting of four books. His music showed the influence of Lully and incorporated elements from the Italian school. Indeed, both these sources would be acknowledged by Couperin himself in two chamber works, Apothéose de Corelli (1724) and Apothéose de Lully (1725). Moreover, he successfully integrated the French and Italian styles in his Les goût réunis ou nouveaux concerts (1724), a collection of chamber compositions for unspecified instruments. Many of his works were lost to posterity, as none of his original manuscripts has survived.

This is the first movement. I thought some might be interested in what it's like to record in the computer/digital domain. This is a program called Digital Performer. There are the tracks, the mixing board on the bottom and the computerized notation on the left. All the instruments sounds are samples of those instruments which reside on the hard drive. It might prove illuminating. - Jeff

Tuning a harpsichord (cembalo, clavecin) in just a few minutes, by ear, using the tuning sequence I believe is illustrated on the title page of Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier (1722). Research by Bradley Lehman, 2004, continuing a doctoral project from 1993-4 in "modified meantone" tuning as applied to Bach's music. The interpretation is based on analysis of Bach's extant keyboard music, plus a historical study of tuning methods, plus (in 2004) the suspiciously irregular drawing on Bach's title page. This research was first published in an _Early Music_ (Oxford University Press journal) article, February-May 2005. Two printed portions and five web files comprise that article. This hands-on demonstration: 2007, Bradley Lehman at home. Flemish-style harpsichord built by Anne Acker. For full details about this tuning method and its musical implications, see www.larips.com . Articles, CDs, free online samples, links to additional resources. The articles show how Bach's drawing is mapped to the notes in the tuning sequence. FCGDAE 5ths (or 4ths) double-tempered; EBF#-C# pure 5ths C#-G#-D#-A# single-tempered (very slight). I believe this specific unequal tuning method was Bach's intention for at least that book of music, the Well-Tempered Clavier, playing music in all 24 major and minor keys. Time to set up the temperament by ear, from a single tuning fork: about 5 minutes. Time to do the entire instrument: about 8 to 20 minutes. As reported by Bach's son Carl Philipp Emanuel, it <b>...</b>

JEAN-JOSEPH CASSANÉA DE MONDONVILLE (1711-1772) Sonata No. 4 for harpsichord and violin accompaniment in C Major 2. Aria (gracioso) 3. Giga (allegro) Performed by Luc Beauséjour, harpsichord Hélène Plouffe, violin *Jean-Joseph de Mondonville, also known as Jean-Joseph Cassanéa de Mondonville, was a French violinist and composer. He was a younger contemporary of Jean-Philippe Rameau and enjoyed great success in his day. Pierre-Louis Daquin (son of the composer Louis Claude Daquin) claimed: "If I couldn't be Rameau, there's no one I would rather be than Mondonville. Mondonville was born in Narbonne in Southwest France to an aristocratic family which had fallen on hard times. In 1733 he moved to Paris where he gained the patronage of the king's mistress Madame de Pompadour and won several musical posts, including violinist for the Concert Spirituel. His first opus was a volume of violin sonatas, published in 1733. He became a violinist of the royal chapel and chamber and performed in some 100 concerts; some of his grands motets were also performed that year receiving considerable acclaim. He was appointed sous-maître in 1740 and then, in 1744, intendant of the Royal Chapel. He produced operas and grands motets for the Opéra and Concert spirituel respectively, and was associated with the Théatre des Petits-Cabinets, all the while maintaining his career as a violinist throughout the 1740s. In 1755, he became director of the Concert Spirituel on the death of Royer. He died in <b>...</b>

Here Michael Gamble celebrates the final regulation of this wonderful harpsichord made by Clayson and Garret in 1970 for a major English public school. He's playing that wonderful song "The Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square". Although the automatic volume control of the camera recording probably cannot enable the YouTube video to make it audible, here we are going through many of the tonal variations of which this instrument is capable with 5 rows of jacks controlled by 6 pedals. The pedals are from left to right: Lower manual: Peau de Boeuf 8ft Quills 8ft 4ft (Used together the quills and the peau de boeuf increase the volume fabulously) Coupler to Upper Manual 8ft Nazard 8ft Buff - Lute stop The construction of this instrument in 1970 was one of the first to use an authentic "guitar" type body construction rather than the piano type constructions of modern instruments. However, the piano construction is more suitable to modern central heating akin to an oven.
