Quite lovely. Thank you, so much. Your expression through wind and string conveys your reverence and love so well. Always a joy to listen, again and again :)

[@hirowatanabe1960]

Thank you always for watching and comments. Though it might not be easy to convey what is expressed in music through playing instruments, it fascinates me :)

@@hirowatanabe1960 Nothing worth expressing thusly is easy, but fascinating and curious, to be sure.

Wonderful! Your collection of instruments is very impressive.
Would you tell us more about them? E.g. are they modern copies of historical originals from a museum, or after written knowledge, who made them etc.

[@hirowatanabe1960]

Thank you for watching !
The recorders are made by Mr. Boudreau, a Canadian recorder maker, after Ganassi's model.
I do not know the original models of these viola da gambas, but two of them, tenor and bass viols are made by Mr. Sakamoto, Shimokura-gakki, Japan.
