  • Vibrato banished from strings
    
  • Toy pianos
    

  
  
  Of course, there's more than that (including clangsichords), but those two items are a good starting point.

  • First of all, "toy pianos" would be too modern for, say, "Marais," right? (Not all HIP employs Toy Pianos.) - jdaniel@jps.net 20:20:42 04/14/21 (1)

    As for vibrato, (or intentionally bend the pitch out of tune to add "spice"), we've established, with real-world exhibits ad nauseum, that it is employed by many HIP performers and groups every time this perennial thirsty post comes up.
    
    Two "terms" for a school that's been around 70 years, has branched out in many different directions, not to mention HIP instruments are sometimes combined with modern instruments, (hybrid), and HIP style runs the gamut from extreme orthodoxy to a loose, pick and choose style.
    
    I am aware that obsessing over the most extreme elements of any movement is all the rage these days. Less "terms" to deal with. : )

    • Maybe you're having a hallucination that we've established that? - Chris from Lafayette 01:17:37 04/15/21 (0)

      I don't think you've established your claim at all - but maybe now I'm having a hallucination! ;-)

      HIP performers may think about vibrato as they play a note or two - to them, that counts as "using" vibrato. ;-)

      And, BTW, if HIP is combined with modern instruments, is it HIP anymore?

      HIP - the Covid Virus of music! ;-)
