The
Original is in the Royal
College of Music in London but it
is Not Possible to Reconstruct the
Soundboard-Ribbing and Bridges, because
it had been altered.
But it is Very Similar to the Eldest
Surviving Italian Harpsichord from Hyronimus
of Bologna 1521.
That´s why I took
the Case of the Trasuntino and the
Soundboard from Hyronimus to get an
Instrument, which Matches the
Requirements of Today.
In Germany, the
Harpsichords had been Built by
Organ-Makers with Only a Few Exceptions.
In Italy by Lute-Makers and Violin
Makers.
The Result is a Total Different Thinking
of the Concept.
One Kind of Italian Concept was: very
Thin Walls, very Light Weighted, built
only to give a Big Volume (similar to the
Flamenco-Guitar) and this was for me the
Concept of my Trasuntino.
Because they are Clearly Louder than
other Harpsichord Types, they had been
used until the 19th Century for Churches,
Theaters, Operas: The Director was
leading the Music from the Harpsichord,
Controlled the Rhythm and gave all
Musicians the Start for their Part with
the Harpsichord.
The Harpsichord had to be as Loud as
Possible with a good „Attac“ in
the Sound. Normally, only Both
8´-registers could be Played Together:
for Tuning Purpose, they could be
Separated.
My Trasuntino is
also Good for the Music of Sweelink,
Byrd, Frescobaldi, Froberger, Domenico
Scarlatti.
