Two days ago I published the Spanish version of this entry, while waiting to start preparing dinner… For a second, I considered not to translate it because I could not do it in its moment, but in this case, even a bit late, I think it can be nice (the videos are in English, for instance)…

It’s the first time I see the installation of a harpsichord soundboard. And, by chance, only two days after Siebe showed me pictures from (the now old) Titus’s workshop, in which the structure for fast and precise “glueing” attracted my attention.

Video from Steve Renaker (Palo Alto, CA, USA)

The second video is more about my own (and some other harpsichordists) routine. Even trying to have a soft touch, plectra go on breaking sometimes… I wouldn’t mind to have had something like this sometime ago.

Interesting the “off-jack” approach of the pre-voicing…
