solo violin on the left (as the video begins); on the right is the ripieno violin and just behind her, the violist.
and yeah, sorry about the abysmal sound quality, the video was taken simply with an everyday run-of-the-mill handheld digital camera!

It's a pity that the only original instruments are the traverso, 1st violin and harpsichord. One can notice that the cello and the double bass have spikes (the baroque cello was held between the legs like the viola da gamba; violone didn't have a spike at all), and the other 2 violins have neither gut strings nor a baroque bows.

Oh believe me, we know. We feel very fortunate that a few students own their own period instruments, and the college has a harpsichord. We'd love to have our own whole baroque orchestra's worth of instruments, who wouldn't? But at present our budget barely covers parts and maintenance on what we have, let alone buying new things. If it's any comfort, the solo violin there isn't a reproduction 18th-c instrument; it's the real thing. And for the concert we did have one more period violin.
