I’d love to have a Harpsichord! It has such a unique and beautiful sound and it would be great to play Bach, Vivaldi and Handel on the authentic instrument

Such an eloquent commentary. A grand ravalement of a Ruckers, no longer transposing, with a shove coupler (for the first harpsichord).

I was hoping that this video would be about the actual instruments that Handel owned. But these two gorgeous modern replicas are also interesting and lovely to hear.

You just need to learn tuning it (not very different from the piano, but slightly more complicated), so you only call a professional tuner like, once a year, I don't know. No repairind needed as long as you buy it in good condition and you take care of it. Edit: It needs more tuning than a modern piano because it is less robust, less stable. Same with clavichords, virginals, spinets etc.

@@manuelschiopu4856 it is much easier to tune a harpsichord rather than a piano. It is true, that a harpsichord needs to be tuned often but it takes usually ca. 20 minutes. Sometimes you need to revoice the plectras but it is also quite easy. A piano is much more complicated but both need care.

I wonder if Jimi decided to use the harpsichord on Burning of the Midnight Lamp when he figured out Handel had lived there. I've always loved the harpsichord in that song, it gives it such a unique sound. I also really like it's use on the White Album in the song Piggies, with that blues breakdown on the harpsichord

The colour and tone of the original harpsichord in the Bate Collection is incomparable to that of the copy in this video. It is the most amazingly sweet and clear toned instrument I've ever played and the copy simply doesn't do justice to the original in terms of its tone.

Dominic, having played and inspected the harpsichord in the Bate Collection, I'm confident if not certain that it is indeed Handel's instrument. It would simply be too much of a coincidence for a harpsichord of that date, style and maker, that was accurately represented in the famous portrait of Handel to a degree as you pointed out, for it to not be Handel's instrument. The detail of the inlay or lack thereof in the painting is irrelevant, it is certain that this was a discrepancy from the artist, for more than one harpsichord of that maker to exist in an identical case design would be an impossibility.

Thank you for filming and uploading this very interesting and informative clip! Does anyone happen to know what the last piece of music is? I don't recognize it from the 8 + 9 harpsichord suites (HWV 326-442).

James, the instrument at Oxford (in the Bate Collection) is probably not Händel's. Indeed, it was I who first identified it there and pointed out its similarities to the museum which was at that point unaware of the similarity. The painting of Händel shows a harpsichord without inlay work on the rail below the keyboard where the instrument has inlay. Either the painter missed it out or the instrument is only similar.

mm i guess it is because a little group of persons make them, and 2 because dont you think that it looks hard to build them? jest like grand pianos..organs? theres a site on internet where you can order one. and there are some that cost like 1500 dollars. if you consider the craftmanship ..its not that much..a 2018 gibson les paul can reach easily ..5 thousand bucks. theres no comparison between making these works of art and ....an electric guitar. in my opinion. hugs

There are ones that easily reach 50.000 €. But they are Godlike in looks, build, and sound. Most of them are around 10.000 €, and they are still good. If you think in USD just transform the sums.
