:) Thx Rickey!!

[@gravicembalo74]

Perfekt......and what a nice clavicimbel......!! Super Luuk.

[@luuktorn]

Thanks Thomas,
P.S., here in Holland, a harpsichord is called a klavecimbel (not clavicimbel) 😉

[@gravicembalo74]

@@luuktorn oh sorry, and thanks for correct the Name!

[@marijnvalk]

Fantastisch! Mooi instrument ook!

[@luuktorn]

Dankje Marijn! Zeker een prachtig instrument, in het echt is hij echt overweldigend mooi!

[@mahler914]

Very nice! Just out of curiosity, how long is this harpsichord? Maybe around 260~270cm?

[@luuktorn]

Thanks! It was a long instrument, but not as long as some other Dulckens. I think it was around 240 cm

[@Herr_Flick_of_ze_Gestapo]

Mooi gespeeld zoals altijd. mooi geornamenteerd. En een goed clavecimbel! Zou een zeer goeie vervanger kunnen zijn van je huidige clavecimbel ^_^

[@luuktorn]

Bedankt!! Het is zeker een heel goed klavecimbel.
Als ik het geld en de ruimte zou hebben, zou ik niet aarzelen :)

[@luuktorn]

Thx, nice to hear that you are playing this piece too!
