One of the most epic beards ever

I play the harpsichord in my electronic piano for my list A (the baroque section) in RCM 😂. Sounds great!

Thank you!

I've always loved the sound of the harpsichord! And you sir are a great musician! Thank you for this video!

Lovely. Thank you!

I played a harpsichord at my junior recital. I've dreamed of owning one ever since.

How amazing

Its plucked just like you might on a harp except is easier to play chords and hence the name harpsichord.

the turks and spaniards = will clash with yamaha clavinova

Does he know about the Roman piano? It was played at gladiator events.

I prefer the sound of the harpsichord over the piano

That Steinway is magnificent. The dynamic range.....unbelievable. Though I'm sure I would probably say the same thing about a top of the line Bosendorfer concert grand.

That harpsichord has a very dark tone with tons and tons of sustain (well, tons and tons of sustain for a harpsichord, anyway). Was that a design goal of the man who built it?

Cowboy Gandhi plays awesome instruments

Prefer the older instruments to a modern piano really.

Bravo to your great video and please keep them coming

They still sound good for the music that was written especially for them. However, if I would to pick one it would be the BOSENDORFER !!!!😍😍😍😍😍

Phascinating, thank you

fuck yes

4:50: I now grasp why the harpsichord digital emulations sound different from Clavinet emulations.

Thank you for both of these videos. I learned a lot of information very fast and I also thank you for playing the instruments.

The modern piano still has a non-linear response, as do all instruments, except digital radioelectric instruments (samplers, software synthesizers etc). This is what makes a real instrument more living though.

David Schrader, a fixture of Baroque music in Chicago. Heard him play many times; always excellent. Never heard him talk, though, so this is a treat.

Modern pianos sound very bad.

Beethoven was born too early

Was drawn here to to find what a Clavichord was, couldn’t stop watching, mesmerised. Kudos to you.

Nice work! Very creative solutions. The people aren’t necessarily cheap but they work well with the right “feet”. Thanks for the update.

4:24 When i take the jack off

I went to a friends house in 1970 and her father had what he called, a harpsichord. its keyboard was 9 foot across. I had never seen one and have not seen something similar since.

Dude got the austro hungarian moustache

and now you can have all four in a compact package: a digital piano

I wish to rehear all my fav classical piano pieces on that early piano. It sounds a very certain brightness quite similar to the harpsichord.

Educated and entertained simultaneously! A rare gift! Thank you!

So interesting thank you

Cant wait to see what piano will look like 200 years from now

Please send me your viol.

the sound played on early piano forte is very amazing and different tune color. And I can see the articulation is not needed in early pianoforte😮to create color. No wonder now only gifted pianists play with color. It's my first time seeing an early pianoforte😍. The modern piano has become a percussion instrument and each brand has different tune color. Musicians need to try harder with articulation to play the original classical tune and color but later in life ending up with join pain and other health issues. No wonder Bach was hard to play on modern piano but it was a piece of cake in baroque period with harpsichord and pianoforte. It's so unfair for the musicians now.🤣 I am assuming musicians in classical and romantic period no need to waste hours and hours of time practise articulation only need to remember chord progression and some articulation. Thank you for showing the early piano forte. I have played pieces on harpsichord and organs in school.

no wonder Listz could take a clavichord with him when travelling. My first time seeing a unbroken early piano forte😃 so amazing

Great vid, hope u still alive and playing!

I like how the sound becomes gradually more updated as time passes.

As a guitar player… I learned so much useful history and things from this video, no wonder we play many harpsichord pieces on classical guitar now 🫡

Thank you for such an interesting education on these instruments.

Ya know, if the harpsichord had more deeper notes, it would be a pretty good bass.

I want to know what Mozart would think about how his music sounds on a modern Piano

Excellent video, much appreciated!

He does a good job except at 7:24 he explains that the pianoforte has 58 "notes" and the modern piano has 88 "notes." Those are "keys," not notes. Notes are what are on the page of a score. At least I think that's the way it goes.

yes yes yes

Excuse me, weren't they drawing the villain from the game "Monopoly" from you?

it's been 14 years, I watch this when I was a little tot, don't ask me what kind of stuff I watched as a bébé

this man is epic
