You're real name isn't 'Blanchet' by any chance?

TomLarson,

And for 238 you're still a very lively writer of forum titles!

Yes, as you so subtely yet forcefully imply, great French harpsichords are as variable as the snowflake but as numerous as the Dodo- just a few stuffed ones in museums.

The late 18th C. French doubles are, as you very well know, lush and enveloping and sustaining, but I like the more articulate, crisper Flemish sound- you get stronger counterpoint. And when I'm particulary depressed-a clavichord with meantone temperament.

Still, I believe listening and trying to remember the particular charcteristics of instruments is as good training as I can imagine for listening to different preamplifiers,...

I send a 'Grand Ravelament' in your general direction!

Cheers,

Bambi B
