Dear Gabriel , I’m always fascinated every time I see/hear you play . Wonderful! Would you please name all the pieces of this marvelous concert. Thanks for sharing your gifts with us. God bless you. Bravo 👏 👏👏👏👏
So this means Altamira will never produce Vienna Stauffer again? 😥
We make plenty of our Vienna models and will continue to do so. It’s our most popular historical model
"BWV 999 is rarely played"... ?? Maybe not in Europe; in USA it is very often played, though not to this skill-level by any means.
