da Vinci's Viola Organista Vibrates Back to Life
We might not have yet figured out a way to bring velociraptors or woolly mammoths back, but " ...nearly 500 years after da Vinci sketched his plans for a musical instrument he dubbed the Viola Organista, Polish concert pianist Slawomir Zubrzycki spent more than 5,000 hours making da Vinci's idea a reality."
Make sure to watch the video of Zubrzycki actually playing this beautiful instrument. It's a treat.

...to my tin ear, it has an abruptness on most notes... yet on others an almost haunting resonance I haven't heard before?! It would be interesting to hear the CD. : )
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this one, Zara Altair. I just love the idea of instruments like this being resurrected.
ReplyDeleteHart GA For me it depended on the piece being played. I found it overall very flowing in tone.
ReplyDeleteGideon Rosenblatt I love this idea, as well. Produced and used for concert!
ReplyDeleteYes, exactly.
ReplyDeleteWonderful Gideon Rosenblatt Zara Altair thanks. Good morning:)
