REQ: Real Samples Edition Beurmann Theorbo-Harpsichord
Hello,
Does anyone have this? I'm a big fan of both Theorbi and Harpsichords, so I'm very interested. The German Lautenwerck is up here, and similar, it's like a Harpsichord, but less sharp. I bet this would be very interesting.
INFO:
The German Theorbo-Harpsichord library brings a long-gone instrument into your sampler: Its basic concept is similar to the Lautenwerck - or Lute-Harpsichord - which uses gut strings for lute-like response. However, the Theorbo-Harpsichord is like its "big brother", featuring different stops (2x16') plus an additional metal-strung 4' stop.
Not a single instrument survived throughout the centuries. When the instruments had vanished, the awareness had gone, too: This type of instrument - rediscovered by musicologists only few decades ago - combines tones similar to lute or harp instruments with the airy, bell-like chime of a harpsichord.
After the knowledge had resurfaced, collector Andreas Beurmann had a reconstruction built by Ludwig Richter in Ludwigsburg, Germany.
