the original instrument was tuned at this diapason. I believe it is quite current to use this diapason for baroque music, although many different diapasons were used at that time, each city had its own one, maybe depending on the choice made by the organ manufacturer... there is a joke that says that poor cities had high pitch (because of the cheaper organ pipes). Anyway you can imagine how difficult it might have been for travelling musicians!

Note that you can change the diapason if you want: just open the tuning section and open the diapason menu. You can also change temparement.

Good morning,

is there is special reason why the harpsicord is tuned to A = 415Hz? Or have harpsicords a different tuning?

By the way, it sounds great! Johann Sebastian would definitely like it. :-)

I just wanted to thank the Modartt team for those beautiful instruments. The harpsichord came as a big and great surprise to me since a harspichord model was on my wish-list !
Could we see a picture of the original instruments somewhere?
