[Sweet Home Alabama]

It's a new one to me. Thanks!

No problem.

My long hair music concert was very enjoyable except for the fact that Carnegie Hall now sells fried mozzarella sticks, onion rings, and tatter tots and I made the mistake of ordering all three.

Did he play the smaller viol that he holds upright between the knee? What other instruments were used?

Hello, Jordi mostly conducted but played the viol (as you describe) for one piece, someone else played it for the other pieces. It was excerpts of Monteverdi’s Madrigals of Love and War, are you familiar? I was a little concerned that I wouldn't like it as much as I did because it's vocal heavy (not crazy about Opera fyi) but that wasn't the case.

The harp player took a while to tune his instrument before the show. That was actually rather interesting although the audience seemed confused.

I forgot if you mentioned before, are you a luthier or such?

Below is a list of all the instruments used:


Manfredo Kraemer, Violin I | Guadalupe del Moral, Violin II
Jordi Savall, Bass Viol | Philippe Pierlot, Bass Viol
Keiran Campbell, Bass Violin | Xavier Puertas, Violone
Andrew Lawrence-King, Arpa Doppia
Rolf Lislevand, Theorbo and Guitar | Marco Vitale, Harpsichord

So, if the strings are gut, they are effected my the elements. It is not surprising that tuning took longer.

not a luthier, but a player
