Instruments:
I play on an anonymous English cello dating from somewhere in
the last half of the 1700s, modified as a baroque instrument,
with a Hill-replica baroque bow made by Harry Grabenstein, a
baroque bow by Louis Begin, and a Dodd-style classic bow made
by Boyd Paulsen. The cello has a beautiful, rich, complex but
even sound. My baroque violin is an Amati replica by Warren
Ellison. My baroque violin bow is a early 18th century reproduction
(the so-called “Bob Seletsky” bow) by Harry Grabenstein.
I also
own and play a harpischord made by Peter Sykes and Jacques Way
in 1991. This is a German/ Italian continuo harpsichord that
is versatile in many baroque styles and has a beautiful tinging,
mordent sound. |
