An oldie but a goodie!

This week’s Instrument of the Week is this triple-fretted clavichord from c.1620. This tiny instrument is of great historical importance as it is among one of the oldest surviving clavichords and it is probably the oldest surviving clavichord made north of the Alps.

It’s a violin, Jim, but not as we know it …

This week’s Instrument of the Week is the alto violin! This instrument may look like a viola, but it is actually a violin. It is part of the New Violin Octet, a series of violins designed by Carleen Hutchins, who wanted to create eight violins of matched scale and design.
