Supergenial el tempo como el de Maisky. Siempre me ha deslumbrado de esta manera y no como tempo de Andante. Gracias!!!!!!

[@gustavhubner9167]

This is absolutely incredible just mastered everything about playing the cello and just playing in the purest form !!! Wich setup did you record with ?

[@suredeydo]

Oh wow...😳😢

[@TheShikerWolf]

What microphone are you using? And are you just plugging it straight into computer or do you have complicated procedure? Sounds fantastic, keep it up!!

[@pia7057]

Is your cello tuned in baroque tuning? It sounds beautiful!

[@santiago.canonvalencia]

It’s well below 440, but it’s definitely not in 415...somewhere in between. Thanks!

[@eungoolee6653]

Pia Well apparently there was no specific Baroque tuning however the tuning was normally between A C

[@Angie-xh3pv]

Hace poco descubrí que me gusta escuchar mucho este instrumento, es una sensación muy hermosa

[@AlexanderJJaime]

Hello! For any musician that can answer this for me. What is the tuning in this recording? Is it scordatura or just tuned to a different frequency?

[@wesley4641]

I wouldn't have noticed unless you said anything. So I sat at my cello and played along. He sounded quiet flat from where I am (A440) so I assumed he was either using a French A (A435), classical A (A430) or a baroque A(A415). Baroque a is a whole semitone down, and is not used a lot generally used except in historically informed performances where the player is also using gut strings (which couldnt hold as much tension) I ruled out baroque quickly. So I tuned my A string down to A435 and played along on the parts I could on one string, I was still a bit sharp. So I returned again to A430 and that one felt pretty on the nose, although it might still have been a few Hz off.

[@alilevay7958]

330hz? I think idk

[@eungoolee6653]

Ali LeVay That would be a extremely low note and the strings would definitely be loose lmao anyways it was between 420 and 437

[@eungoolee6653]

Wesley According to my teacher there was no exact baroque tuning however it was usually between A and C

[@dickswingston8854]

why does everything need to be labeled with corona, covid or lockdown these days? Like bach sounds different during lockdown... Jeez...

[@santiago.canonvalencia]

Because it was a project done specifically during lockdown, stop crying, Dick.

[@s.l5787]

@@santiago.canonvalencia lmao

[@eungoolee6653]

Santiago Cañon-Valencia oof

[@eungoolee6653]

Dick Swingston the sound is very different sometimes you see some houses the cello might echo more just like in this Santiago’s video
