Visit to Joris Potvlieghe, his copy of a Specken clavichord (1743) and some Pachelbel

Last week, I payed Joris Potvlieghe a visit, as I do regularly with a focus on two very interesting organ projects, the building of two replica Contius organs, one for Leuven in collaboration with Flentrop in Holland, and one for Wondelgem, which is being build entirely by himself. For the first project I'm project manager, for the second, consultant, so it's part of my job to see if the famous clavichord builder keeps track of his promises as an organ builder. All jokes apart, collaborating with Joris is always a pleasure as he combines fine craftsman ship with a good organisation, two critical aspects in today's landscape of instrument building. The organ projects are worth a video once. They are both directly related to JSBach and his sons. Anyway, seeing three clavichords in his small workshop here -the large workshop is around the corner, and might be a topic for a follow-up video, I thought we had to show you something of all these precious instruments. You'll see two of his so called house-style Saxionian instruments, and one, in the corner on which he was working, a smaller one. That nice little instrument is a copy of an instrument built by Specken in 1743, currently in Stockholm, unfretted with a compass of C-d'''. It could be seen as a small Bach instrument, allowing the player to perform the WTC completely, but not, for instance, the big partitas. I only had my USB microphone with me in the car and a laptop, and one camera. The microphone is the one you see me often use in the spoken videos when I'm behind my computer. Not really suited for this job, but we did play anyway. The Cianona of Pachelbel sounded wonderful on that Swedish instrument and so let me share it with you. If you like this kind of video, let me know, and we'll make more of that. ============================================== Stay updated (+free MP3 of all Bach's Inventions) ▶https://authenticsound.leadpages.co/j...
