D. The Steiner workshop
Thomas Steiner kindly opened his workshop for us, and there he had under restoration: 37. Johann Gottlob Horn No.380 unfretted FF-g3 1791 Boalch says "present whereabouts not known", well, at the moment it is in Basle….

All these instruments, with the exception of Nrs. 28, 29 and 37 could be heard on site or during the instrument demonstration on Saturday. These demonstrations are always a great opportunity to compare sounds and playing styles, my personal highlight was Gerald Hambitzer's presentation of Nrs. 30 and 35, because he improvised two toccatas.

LECTURE AND WORKSHOP

Bernard Brauchli held a lecture on the clavichord's iconographical evidence. There were probably few people present who hadn't listened to Bernard on this subject before, but again and again he shows another bunch of previously unknown and very early finds. We are lucky that there is one central picture bank which contains all the known evidence.
Martin Kather held his workshop on clavichord maintenance and tuning, which is a regular feature of the DCS weekends. This time, he had to repeat it, and had time permitted, there would even have been interest for a third session.
