Topic: historical intruments

I saw a thread on this forum. At the moment of writing this I can't find it so I just start a new topic.

Some people were complaining about the uselessness of the harpsichords and other historic instruments.

But for me, these free add-ons were one of the reasons for me to buy the full version of Pianoteq. I always like people who do things because they believe in it, rather than because there is big market for it. I AM interested in historic instruments, but I don't have the money and the room to have different harpsichords, hammerklavieren, and grand pianos in my living room. Pianoteq gives my a chance to try Bach and Mozart with a historically adequate sound. I like it !

I just want to say: Keep up the good work Pianoteq People! 

A request/suggestion for future projects: It would be really nice if you would be able to catch the subtleties of smaller and intimate historical keyboards like for example spinet, virginal and clavichord in a Pianoteq fysical model. Especially the clavichord, which was one of Bach favourite instruments,  I would like to see.

Like for example this one:

It was this one. I found it easily using the search function since I remembered it contained the word "utterly" which I had to look up in a dictionary

Pianoteq Pro 8.0.0, Organteq 1.6.5, MacBook Pro 16" i9, Mac OS X 13.0.1, Universal Audio Volt 4, Logic Pro X 10.7.5, FM8, Absynth 5, The Saxophones/Clarinets, Reaktor 6 and others

Re: historical intruments

I love the variety in Pianoteq, and the harpsichords, with their incredibly rich timbre, are great for making new instruments, like this one.
