That is stunning, Ralph! I love the quarter-comma meantone temperament, and You play it to sound very well. Keep up the great work! Best regards: Moses K. Frost
To my ears and feelings the Swiss have made great progress in the practice of early music on appropriate instruments. Many thanks for this jewel of a recording.
I presume that having all of the split keys means there could not be a second 8’ choir. I would love to see a demonstration of how those appogiaturas sound playing the other sharp key. Anyway the one 8’ choir has a wonderful sound!
Tell us about the strings of the instrument : one set or 2 , brass string or brass and metal, what music can we play with such an instrument and what can't we play .
Thank you for sharing this! Wonderful performance. I don’t think I’ve ever heard this piece in tune. It sounds quite different. Is there any possibility we could hear recordings on this instrument in 1/3-comma meantone (19edo)?
Well it allows for pure thirds in more keys, so basically you've got your "normal" meantone which is C-based, plus other ones too. Sorry I'm not an expert though.
Froberger is sublime! A fitting instrument and player put it on a higher level. Thank you for all your hard work. Cheers
What a wonderful recording! The instrument sounds beyond beautiful in this temperament. Well done, lovely interpretation of this Froberger suite.
Agreed on all!
Quanto è chiara la formazione con Frescobaldi!
Your instrument is really wonderful

One of my most favorite composers. Your instrument sound beautifully and so is your performance. Thanks for uploading.
Organs were set up the same way before modern tuning. It really does sound so great!
omg, i would die a happy man if i could put my hands on one
Sounds great
Splendida esecuzione❤
Again. Very lovely. Thank you.
So Wonderfull Ralph👏👏👏
I love the way you play the courante. Such controlled even rhythm and amazing legato!

Splendid playing and sound. Thank you!
the little images of the MS were a nice touch
amazing instrument and playing
How Beautiful ! All sounds is perfect harmony!

Bravo! It's very excellent!

Sick piece dab on it wagwan
What are those tiny black keys?
А между ми и фа: это ми-диез или фа-бемоль? То же между си и до?
Исполнение прекрасное. Спасибо.
The craftsmanship on that instrument is absurd.

I used to be into Led Zep and wotnot but this quite nice too, innit...
What sort of tuning is this? I can hear that it's a sort of meantone type? Which one is exactly?
It is the (for the keyboard) standard 1/4-comma.
What's the little key between E and F and B and C notes ?
E# and B#, or Cb andFb if you need to tune it that way. if you had all of them you'd easily lose yourself on the keyboard.
Thank you for sharing this! Wonderful performance. I don’t think I’ve ever heard this piece in tune. It sounds quite different.
Is there any possibility we could hear recordings on this instrument in 1/3-comma meantone (19edo)?
You have giant hands! I could never play the first movimento: from e‘ to a“ - to large for me…
Que som lindo! Cheio de harmônios que só são possíveis de ouvir numa gravação de estúdio. Mas , parabéns 🎉🍾🎊!
there's a guy who can play 11th interval chords
It seems your wrists keep moving up like some pianists. It's easy to lose control, especially about releasing keys.
How can you talk about “temperament”when there are so many split sharps?
Well it allows for pure thirds in more keys, so basically you've got your "normal" meantone which is C-based, plus other ones too. Sorry I'm not an expert though.
It is a temperament, and is usually known as extended meantone.
