Mahan Esfahani (Clavichord, Harpsichord)
Clavichord: by Peter Bavington (London) based on an instrument in Nuremberg which has been reliably attributed to Johann Heinrich Silbermann, the nephew of the famous organ-builder Gottfied Silbermann.
Harpsichord: built by the workshop of Jukka Ollikka in Prague and completed in January 2018; it is based on the theories and surviving examples of Michael Mietke with the hypothetical addition of an extra soundboard for the 16' register and a cheek inspired by Pleyel, 1912; the disposition is as follows: 16'8'8"4' with buff on the upper manual / soundboard from carbon-fibre composite, EE to f3 / length: 2.8 metres.
Both instruments were tuned by Miles Hellon according theories by 18th century
German tuning theorists. |
