That is so sus.

Henry VIII must have used a similar instrument when he probably didn't write this.

[@thomashogan16]

May Our Lord, and the four saints bless you. Why did you have to get permission to reproduce something that is, way by now, public domain?

[@royemiliani-musicandart1042]

Very simple, there was no high res pic of this work of art anywhere for me to have reproduced. I contacted the museum who has the piece and they were kind enough to have one created for me with permission to not distribute or sell it as the high resolution jpg used to create my lid is their property. Extremely nice of them to go out of there way for me. The permission was for my Clavichord Lid only for "educational" purposes. Thank you North Carolina Museum of Art.

[@jpstenino]

I really appreciate the performance and Those JACK PETERS instruments are absolutely magnificent in construction and sound. where did you record this?

[@royemiliani-musicandart1042]

Recorded at my house.. video and sound from a iphone 5 using a Apogee Mic that connects directly to the iphone port and provides better sound recording than possible from the built in mic on the iphone.

[@jpstenino]

THANK YOU

[@fludeball]

You’re going to kill it tuning it a whole step sharp like that. It should be a half step low.

[@orjhyu3v2ehv3h]

Oh, it well depends on the construction of the instrument itself. Most are supposed to be tuned around half step low, as comparing to A=440Hz, but some are to be tuned even lower, and having them tuned higher is not unheard of. Many historical organs are tuned to much above A=450Hz

[@fludeball]

I keep my Sperrhake a half-step low, even though it was probably designed for 440+. My perfect pitch has dropped with age (430 sounds “normal” now), and I can’t handle historic instruments in high tunings!

[@mootbooxle]

@@fludeball that sounds like it must be very difficult to live with! My relative pitch is quite good but I certainly don’t have the gift of perfect pitch…seems more like a curse in some ways!

[@fludeball]

Since I wrote that I moved mine back to 440. I’d rather hear things funny than have to retune it every day. Actually, I don’t use it for six months at a time, so doesn’t really matter...

Is the Giotto picture a real painting, or a print?

[@royemiliani-musicandart1042]

The picture is a print a reproduction once I got permission from the museum that owns it. Amazingly even close up it really looks like it's painted onto the wood

Allegedly composed by Henry VIII when he was not doing something more bloodthirsty.

[@geremygonzalessleepwalkerr2900]

Ehem! Sorry! When was this clavichord made?? In what year???

[@Nicolas-zb9uw]

Is it possible that Win put too much pressure , weight , on the keys? To me it always sound a not enough light touch .

[@SoggySandwich80]

It’s just a very tingy instrument

Did clavichords really exist in the early 14th century?

[@evanstaf18]

yes!

[@geremygonzalessleepwalkerr2900]

1310?!?!?! 😳o_O The Year That Was Exactly 711 Years Ago The Year 1310 = 14th Century

[@geremygonzalessleepwalkerr2900]

I don't believe the clavichord was exist during the 14th century.

[@robart7218]

@@geremygonzalessleepwalkerr2900 some early form of the clavichord already existed at this point

Très belle interprétation mais elle fait penser à une chanson de Jacques Brel; Dans le port d'Amsterdam.

Many People do not Know, that Greensleeves was Written by King Henry the 8th!

[@hypergogic3269]

Ernest Doucette that was actually proven to be a myth because the melody has existed since the 16th century

[@ernestdoucette6891]

Thank you for the Correction!

[@fnersch3367]

It is actually a Romanesca and came from Italy (late Renaissance).

[@gunnarthorsen]

As someone pointed out, it wasn't. He DID compose, that's true, but at least two other songs attributed to him (such as "Helas Madam") weren't. The confusion stems in part from his music books, hand written, with his name everywhere to show ownership, not authorship. As one wag once said in the 18th century at the French court: "Be careful if you criticize one of the king's compositions: you never know who wrote it!" I love the little instrument heard hear by the way. Beautiful, intimate sound!
