Last year david >Sutherland (Ann Arbor, MI) made a Cristofori replica which confirms its >original qualities were quite impressive, especially in Scarlatt, Soler, >other Ital. repertoire etc. Not the thin weedy sound of the Met >Cristofori is its present condition...but dynamic, alive sound. > Indeed! The volume is much more than I believe even David expected, no puny thin sound at all, but rich, precise, expressive, and a total delight. Elaine Funaro is making a CD of the Ital. /Scarlatti repertoire on David's instrument. By the way Stephen, love your expression "up the spout".
