She uses pianofortes by Dulcken and Broadwood, and harpsichord or clavichord for some earlier works.

It has always been my understanding that the aim of Stein with his successful design - discovered and raved about by WAM - was a louder clavichord sound - tonal purity and not, as with the Double Action of Cristofori, a LOUDer and softer harpsichord.

Clavichords use a tange on the key - a triangle of brass with a curved hitting edge - to hit the string. Playing from very softly to not quite loud enough for concert halls, although some big clavichords were around and could play louder than most might expect.

So, perhaps the tangent piano was a transitional device? or perhaps it was an offshoot or after thought to retain that plangent purity so loved by composers used to the clavichord for developing their ideas.

I've listened on FM to most of Spanyi's output and mostly wonder why not play that on a VA?
