RE: [F_minor] Look at what I found on You Tube



Definitely not the (in)famous harpsipiano; it's described by various biographers and possibly also (but would have to check) in the jacket description of the Haendel recording as a Wittmayer kit harpsichord.  He seemed to have used the harpsipiano in the Bach Cantata Widerstehe doch der Suende with Russell Oberlin as the countertenor.  It's a baby grand piano that had metal tacks inserted in the hammers.... It's on YouTube.

Can anyone tell me if what I saw was a clavichord? I don't think it was
a harpsichord, but am not sure?

Harpsipiano?  Wha????? Only Glenn would play something that sounded so
perverse.  

Cheers,

Fred

And I thought you were going to link to the video where he's playing the
infamous harpsipiano. :-) (That's up there, too. Shhhh, don't tell
anyone.)
