Handel - The Harmonious Blacksmith. Played by Chris Sansum on spinet

Just a short snippet of a piece I have been working on. I’ll record the whole thing at some point. Just never seem to have the time to both tune and record! 😂

Bravo, well played sir. An unusually pleasant sounding spinet and the piece itself suits the tone very well. All round thumbs up.

[@chrissansum]

Thank you - very kind! I think taking time to tune beforehand helps the instrument sound nice.

Wie schön, ENDLICH mal KEIN Geschwindigkeitswettbewerb, sondern der erfolgreiche Versuch, die Musik ATMEN zu lassen. Vielen Dank fürs Teilen und gerne mehr ... ;-)

Ich persönlich finde den Versuch nicht swhr erfolgreich, leider es ist doch sehr gradlinig ohne Agogik gespielt, eher Nähmaschinen-artig.

Bravo!

[@chrissansum]

Thanks! I will get around to recording the whole thing at some point, although I have just broken a string so need to find a bit of time to replace it.

That is the most beautiful spinet ( and equally beautiful performance ) i've heard here on youtube thus far! Bravo!!

[@TravaillesDuChanson]

Where could I find a spinet like that?

[@chrissansum]

I did do a little rendition on piano recently: 📸 Look at this post on Facebook m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid025MmNjDtH1nfMs9ps4Wh8ewoh4VU4Whf69jkE7xkX6wyofGRwuNmQHwBpD8BuX9tml&id=663820041&mibextid=WC7FNe

[@chrissansum]

Went a bit wrong at the end, but you get the idea!

[@Silversorcerer]

@@chrissansum Handel's music is beautiful on any instrument, isn't it?

[@chrissansum]

@@Silversorcerer Yes! Still missing one variation but will have to record it sometime over Christmas if I can get motivated!

Lovely, Chris.

[@chrissansum]

Thanks a lot!

[@alainspiteri502]

perfect tempo for me ; is it keyboard epine-vinette ? clavicorde ? or harpsichord ? thhank's

[@chrissansum]

Thanks a lot! This is a spinet. Based on a model by English maker Thomas Hitchcock. Maybe during the summer I’ll get around to recording the whole piece!
