[Bill Kibby]

Anyone who is interested in early music or early instruments may wish to know that the Greenwich International Festival & Exhibition of Early Music is being held at the Old Royal Naval College from Friday November 11 to Sunday November 13.

Ooo no - last time I went there I had a Terrible Accident; a clarsach harp! Brilliant event, i really enjoyed it.

I know what you mean, I've been a naughty boy three times in a fortnight. I cleared a space for a Pape Console, and before I even got it, an Arts & Crafts thing appeared from down the road, then an interesting 1850-ish cottage piano turned up at the local auction. Oh dear!! I neeeeeeeeed a museum.

Do they tune everything in Greenwich meantone?

[Bill Kibby]

It depends on the compass of the instrument.
