For the curious: listen to ' A Certain Kind ' by The Soft Machine. The introduction might sound familiar.

There used to be a dance for this tune back in the 1600's.

Very nice! I also played a concert on this instrument. The playing is very nice with much love for the music.

This instrument survived for you to play it so beautifully! It is lovely. So much thanks for your performance!.

Those wrest pins without holes are a nightmare. Lovely tone and perfect performance.

For the Sir Robert Cecil Earl of Salisbury in about 1610 so the virginals are very much in period . Thanks

The instrument doesn't look in the best of condition, but the sounds it makes! An utterly magnificent performance. Need to hear more :-) Many, many thanks for posting. PS What temperament was in use?
