Danke Tassilo, und viele Grüße aus Mailand!

Is this truly a Lindholm? I've got one myself, but I've never heard them sound this good, I'm amazed.

Are the jacks with the tongue and plectra in one piece, or are they with separate plectra like on most other spinets? Please let me know, I'm very curious because I'd love to make my own spinet sound more like this one!

@Koelvak Yes Koelvak:it is a Lindholm. I bought used in Munich 5 years ago. That instrument come from DDR. However, my opinion is that it sound a bit "dry". The jacks are made in plastic. If you wish I can send you some pictures.

Thank you, Alessandro

@weisthorr

I'd love to see the pictures! I really find the sound of my own spinet rather unharpsichordlike, much to bright, really. Same goes for any other Lindholm spinet I ever heard, with the exception of yours.

So I guess there has to be a difference in the construction somewhere, and when I find it I will modify my own spinet to the example of yours.

Personally I think it's the plectra/tongue, which is very odd in my own spinet.

If you have the same jacks, I guess Im wrong!

Wilhelm Furtwängler diceva pressappoco così (riassunto):

"Quando sento i musicisti provare Bach trovo che lo facciano con una passione ed una spontaneità che, purtroppo, nell'esecuzione in orchestra, sparisce inghiottita nell'eccessivo rigore e rispetto dei tempi"

Non importa cosa scrivono su questa tua esecuzione: Bach si suona anche così!

Phrasing is not good, These musical phrases are like waves, there's great regularity between them.

Also, please don't rush. Savour the sounds.

Yes Kurtlane, you're quite right and I very thank you for paying attention to ... my scarce capability. Howewer the aim is to play that in a bit "romantic" fashion, more in italian way than in german precision...

Ok fellow, next time I'll play with a timer!

Bye!
