A short documentary about a remarkable harpsichord, started by Andrea Goble in the 1980s and finished by Alan Gotto 35 years later. A copy of the Hass 1740 triple manual, this large and elaborate instrument includes both a 16ft and 2ft stop - very few other instruments can match its range of colour possibilities or sheer scale of sound.
Includes performances by harpsichordists David Wright and Robin Bigwood, and maker Alan Gotto explains more about the instrument and its history.

Amazing instrument! I knew triple manual harpsichords existed but have never seen one being played.

That lute register is so clean! Never heard one like it.

We have a Hass copy here in Greensboro North Carolina at First Presbyterian Church. I don’t know the entire spectrum of the harpsichord, but it looks just like yours. It has the “pull out” 3rd manual and it also has a ‘16 and ‘2 register. I’ll see if I can find more info on the instrument. It plays beautifully. I’m an organist, but very much enjoy this harpsichord!

Wow! I live in Durham and had no idea anyone in the area had a 3-manual instrument. That's wonderful.

@deepdipsheepdip881 10 дней назад

That Goble harpsichord in Greensboro belonged to Henry Hood, and he bequeathed it to me before he died. It was written down and everybody knew about that. When he died, his niece Wendy Hood refused to let me have it and rented it out. This was not what the owner wanted, and it was not right. Henry Hood also left me his entire music library, but I was not allowed to have that either. I heard she gave it to a library, perhaps for a tax credit. Very ugly.

As mentioned in the video, the original 3 manual harpsichord by Hass had been restored for the extraordinary colombian harpsichordist Rafael Puyana (14 October 1931 - 1 March 2013) in Paris. Very good restoration indeed.

@danielwaitzman2118 2 года назад

This instrument makes other harpsichords sound like music-boxes. I'll bet that were it not for the cost of such an instrument, together with the labor-intensive maintenance that it must require, this harpsichord could have held its own with the fortepiano through the nineteenth century.

Now THAT is a dream harpsichord! Question: does it have 2, or 3 8-foot registers? or is it 8-I, 8-II, 4, 2 and 16? Also: has it ever been samples? (That really should be done!)

@robinbigwood Год назад

Hi. As I remember (coming up to two years back now) it's 16, 8-I, 8-II, 8-lute, 4, 2, with a buff on the 16 and one of the 8s. The original had dogleg jacks coupling the top two keyboards, but that became a standard shove coupler on the copy, to further increase the registration flexibility. We didn't get chance to sample it unfortunately - just one day to make the video here and the separate performances to go with it.

@thedigitalharpsichordist1541 Год назад

@@robinbigwood Thanks for the info! A shame you couldn't sample it: such sounds, and sound combinations, are rare. But you were indeed lucky to become "personally acquainted" with such a marvelous harpsichord!

Here is another triple manual harpsichord, built in about 1983, by Keith Hill and Philip Tyre, then of Grand Rapids, MI. It, too, is a magnificent instrument: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UNQ-sUvSiV8.html

How about a Sitarpsichord? It's a Harpsichord with a Buzzing bridge to make it sound like a Sitar.

@@leonardschick5257 what is a cheap price when talking about this wonder? Just to know, I believe I've lost my cheque book somewhere ;-)

@leonardschick5257 Год назад

@@RitaPas A harpsichord is never cheap, especially such a huge one. Some builders would build triple manual harpsichords similar to this one for 50'000-70'000 EUR if you ask them, while others (rather snobbish) would ask for "simple" double manuals about 60'000-80'000.

@obsessivecorvid Год назад

Do you know the location of the original Hass triple manual and the two other copies?

@obsessivecorvid Год назад

Also, can the top two manuals be played while the bottom one is pushed in, and can the bottom one be played when pushed in?

@robinbigwood Год назад

I don't unfortunately. It's an interesting question.

@robinbigwood Год назад

@@obsessivecorvid Yes, with the bottom manual in it feels a lot like a conventional 2x8s (+ lute) + 4 double manual. But I don't think it's viable to play the 16' keyboard when it's pushed in - it *might* work (I didn't try) but there's almost no space for the hands/fingers, and sharps are probably not reachable at all.

@obsessivecorvid Год назад

@@robinbigwood huh, and do you know where the other copies and the original harpsichord currently reside?

A beautiful instrument. However, another copy was made by Robert Goble & Son. The original Haas was owned by Rafael Puyana.

@ludovicleprinceroyal8721 2 года назад

The sine qua non of the 2 x 8' disposition of a French, Italian or German instrument is all that is desirable for the great majority of the literature of the harpsichord. The periodic brilliance of a well voiced 4' adds intensity to the occasional piece, and the buff stop, less frequently, has its place. Nothing, however, should distract from the clarity and nobility of the plein jeu.
