Toccata by Frescobaldi played on harpsichord with nylon gut strings (Tiorbino)

Norberto BROGGINI plays Prima Toccata from an XVII century manuscript attributed to Girolamo FRESCOBALDI (1583-1643) now in the Bibliotheca Bodmeriana (Cologny, GE) on Hubert Bédart-Heugel italian harpsichord with nylon gut strings ("tiorbino")

Very sophisticated technique and interpretation.

[@nicholasmichael3162]

Very interesting and pleasant sound from these strings.

[@AlexanderWinkler]

Superb sound

[@gregtricker-reissig7301]

I really like the sound of the nylgut on this instrument. Can you please share what gauge strings you are using for each bracket of notes, as well as the string vibrating length (e.g., for each C note)?

[@danieldelapena8369]

Very interesting how this sounds like the "classical guitar" preset on a electric keyboard

[@sandyhackney]

Fine! Thank you.

[@jimbuckland2054]

Fantastic! Did you eliminate the octave stringing and just single string the fundamental notes?

[@NorbertoBroggini]

Exact!

Really great sound you get. Are those nylgut strings from Aquila? The detail of articulation really brings out the lines!

[@Wolfganger]

It sounds like you have the “Lute Stop” on.

Sounds like a classical guitar plucked at the bridge

[@martinh1277]

Damals sollte ein Cembalo nicht klingen wie eine klassische Gitarre, angeschlagen mit dem Fingernagel am Steg. Die Darmbesaitung wurde genutzt, damit es klingt wie eine Laute.
Die Laute wird nicht angeschlagen mit dem Fingernagel, sondern mit dem Fleisch des Fingers. Der Lautenist bevorzugt viel Fleisch und winkelt den Finger entsprechend an, der Ton soll rund und voll werden.
Entsprechend braucht es bei dieser Besaitung Kiele aus breitem Leder.

HOLD THE CAMERA STILL, FOR GOODNESS SAKE!!!

Bellissimo suono perfetto per la musica italiana da lei, Sr Broggini. Sa chi a restaurato quel Heugel/ Bédard ? Sono restaurando un cembalo simile dalla stessa ditta e vorrei conoscere la struttura interna dello strumento. Grazie a lei :)

Is this catgut or nylon?

[@randazzoworld8940]

João Victor Silva sounds more like nylon.
