11:48 how does it sound like

Very, vrey impressed.

Very nice work. You gave me great idea on how to make the cuts. I was having troubles with accuracy on angles, so the home made miter should help out, along with the saw.

thanks for sharing, this is beautiful ! can you share the sizes of the box? trying to do a similar project but not sure about the sizes...

Beautiful work! Somehow I never heard of these Banksia pods, but now I have to get one! :D

I found your channel because I search marquetry, I also wactched one about ottavino making. And then I saw you also build dioramas, which is funny, because I'm a woodworker and a diorama builder too. Your works are amazing in both areas.

Amazing. I'm not understanding why the bridge is V shaped? That makes the middle strings shorter than the lower and higher strings? Do you know why they do it like that? Thanks! I kinda want one of these now 😂

Amazing. I have to say it pained me to see you cut the oversize after all that work!! Beautiful work.

Interesting observations on the finished pod no 1

gorgeous! i am so not that talented. Would you happen to know if it is possible to buy veneer sheets with the patterns already put together for you so that they can be applied to a wood piece in sheets? if so where?

Awesome job, looks fantastic and sounds authentic to me, well done

This is awesome! Very nice!

Quiero unooo

I'm curious about the vendor for the Port Orford Cedar...?

Can't understand why this video has less views than twerking. World is ending. Anyway - great job man!

Outstanding in all ways!!

woodworking techniques never change across different practices: straight backplate with two spacer blocks to get equal cuts.

Great video. Thank you for sharing.

Maestro!

Great job,bery clean workbench,fore a bery nice job you do.

lovely project and presentation. I would love to have a little ottavino

This instrument is wonderful! Is this or a similar one somewhere available.

How cute is that!! Can one buy this or a similar one somewhere?

Ah! ❤

This is a mini Soprano Harpsichord with compass of E4 to F6!!!

This is a mini harpsichord at 4' which sounds from E4 to F6; you should make an octave lower version, a 8' instrument which will sound from E3 to F5!!!! Great one!!!!

The Cembalino is considered a half size harpsichord I think.

I don't know why, but I am trying to make one myself. This video just shows me the intensity of how perfect everything needs to be. Thank you, by the way, no other video on KZbin goes through the detail need to create one! Good luck to me... haa

Wow! Your instrument sounds so beautiful and clean!

man that was GREAT !

Do you have any video of how you made the template board to hold all the string and ship in place

My eye only watching And my brain even after looking and hearing the instructions 💫💤💤💤

This deserves my ...Wow ! I think I´ll stick to a modest transport flight crate with metal profiles and protection corners or thereabout for mine, maybe get a little artsy inside. But Wow! If I could afford to cherish your work, I´d give you a fair bid :)

Nice. I always wanted a harpsichord. Could not afford one, those I´ve seen for sale costs more than classic campaign furnitures. I usually have good luck with wood working, maybe I´ll should give building one a try. I´d like one in transportable size but I also like having full range of tones and the tonal modes. Do you know any site with good descriptions to draw such design influences from ? Guitarist caught shopping in a piano shop; What piano string gauges fits what tone ranges ? And whats up with double/triple strings on each note ?

Wow, beautiful

I’m so glad you decided to class up your primitive instrument by playing The Doors on it!

How much larger would it have to be to have three octaves? Can could the register be lowered?

Amazing and definitely not for every monkey to do. 🙉🐒

Fascinating. Thank you.

One question, were those models of harpsichords used in general during the time or are they exclusively for children?

that last spinnet sounded a bit out of tune, or maybe it was just the phrase you played that sounded slightly off

Music Makers hurdy gurdy plans as a template… not the best of plans! Why they made their hgs with such large sound holes is beyond me! In my 40 years of playing the hg I have never (NEVER!) seen such large sound holes and never in that position! 😆

thank you

This is so, so cool. Thank you!

KZbin = Censorship!

Excellent presentation. Many thanks.

I don't think the Ottavino is a child's instrument. The name means "higher octaves" A piano has 88 notes and a harpsichord has 61 notes. Your instrument has 26 notes I suspect that the Ottavino was made as an addition to existing Harpsichords , probably set on top of ,or next to, a harpsichord so the Harpsichordist could play music written for the piano. I think they were real instruments that were paired up with full size harpsichords. Edit: I just read up on classic Harpsichords and found out that the Harpsichords were eventually made with a second row of keys installed to extend the range. So I guess the Ottavino is a way of retrofitting older harpsichords to have a similar range as the newer ones.

I built one of these about 10 years ago. Things went smoothly until I got the the plectra. They were too short and stiff, the keys are too short in the spinet configuration. Playing is very hard and not reliable. Other configs have longer keys but string spacing is still too narrow. Builders beware.
