Spent a terrific week down south, practicing on the 1800 Tannenberg in Winston-Salem, North Carolina! What a wonderful instrument! I think what I like best about it is its winding system, and it's one of the few instruments from that era that still has its original system. It is very flexible, so easy to make sound bad if you're not careful how you release notes, but also capable of making very musical sounds, trios sound like you're playing 3 different instruments as far as inflection goes! I've played a number of modern instruments with flexible winding, but this beats them all in my opinion. Not exactly sure how to describe it, but its reactions seem more smooth than the modern ones I have played. This truly is my favorite instrument of those I have played!
I'll be performing there on October 7th, and it would be really nice to meet any members who are in the southeastern US!
