For what it's worth, the general consensus on how the six-holed wooden flute got to be so popular among Irish musicians is that when Boehm-system flutes "came...
A few thoughts... Old Sarah said that she was on her third instrument at the time of the interview. So, good question, how did she afford them? The HG in the...
Of course, it may be that Sarah's HG as depicted wasn't one she had even seen, much less played. It's more usual for an artist to have a sample item in his...
La Tour used his mother and father as models. The HG model for his work was his father. Scott -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my...
As to Old Sarah, it seems unlikely that a woman who was famous for playing the hurdy-gurdy (why else write about her and take her photograph) would have used...
I agree with Geoff about this + it feels as if there is an unwillingness to accept these art works as being in any way informative: I find this puzzling. Ref...
I agree but just wanted to point out that then, as now, one needs to be wary when taking paintings or engravings as exact representations. There could be a...
Interesting about de la Tour's father, Scott - I didn't know that! Geoff, I'm not sure how truly famous Old Sarah was. To the best of my knowledge, Mayhew...

Bandabero, lead by Dominique Forges who wrote La Sansonnette, are planning a short tour in England from 27th Oct to 4th Nov. They have potential bookings in St...
That makes perfect sense too, Clare. Another musician/researcher I was talking to made a similar point. And if after loads of searching it turned out to be...
Even though I won't be attending that, I'd just want to tell everyone how good a tutor Dominique is. I took a 3 day long workshop with him during Chants de...
It would be nice if this one turned up somewhere. One has to presume that it was a well known tune at the time as the writer felt the need to illustrate her...
I likewise drew a blank on mudcat when I tried it a few months ago for the title. Nice to know about Thackery, though. This is a most enjoyable thread. Sadly...
Hello Augusto, I was just re-watching your two links from Oscar Fernandez on trompette technique which have been very helpful. Has he made any more in his...
