I start playing it eyes closed what makes the experience of the sound even more overwhelming. I’ll probably have a long way to go before honoring this beautiful harp to the full. Today the Viaggio arrived! It sounds wonderful, so clear and ‘wide’ at the same time. The flight case in fantastic.Īlex Cronin, North Turramurra / AUSTRALIEN
The bass is so clear and I thank you for putting the special strings on. Otto Biba, Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde, Vienna / AUSTRIA The instrument did not only please, but also found great recognition. Thank you very much, we received the harp on time and it has been played immediately last Thursday. Gudrun Wilde-Weickert, Castrop-Rauxel / GERMANY So clean, so clear, so transparent and in the same time so warm. The Arpa Doppia Monteverdi has met my expectations and I have great pleasure performing with it. Lydia Borri- Mottola, RAI Symphony Orchestra, Milano / ITALY I have an other old harp, an 1913 Erard, that I would like to repair specially on the mechanical point of view. This harp has belonged to Maria Grossi, a famous Italian harp teacher, who was my teacher in Florence many years ago The sound of this harp, that you restored the soundboard so well, was greatly appreciated during my career from many famous directors such us Bernstein, Celibidaque, Pretre and Abbado. I am really grateful to you for recovery this instrument which is to me so beloved. I played it immediately and I was very happy to find that your work has been accurate and really good.
Thurau, I am very glad to inform you on my harp arrival. Sandrine Maufroy, La Garenne-Colombes / FRANCEĭear Mr. So the Spanish harp Torre now promises double happiness! Thank you for this beautiful harp which also sounds very nice! I received it today in good condition and I already have fun in discovering the sounds! I’m already very happy with my triple harp Cellini – and with my Triple Harp Student Baroque. They function very well now and have a marvellous sound. It is a joy to play Haendel on this authentic and beautiful instrument.Īlso I wish to thank you for your restoration works on my Erard double and single action harps, I have received many compliments for the instrument by the audience and orchestra musicians. You have build a wonderful Welsh Tripleharp for me to play the Haendel concerto with Anima Eterna. Looks like I convinced her to go for it!) Glad to see there are now 2 Zampieris on the west coast! (She had called to talk to me about the harp a year ago. I also got a call from a woman in Portland who told me ordered one and it just arrived. The spacing and feel are very comfortable, and the amount of sound it produces is fantastic. The sound is everything a 17th century harp should be to my ear: bright, clear, yet it also has depth. I wanted to write first of all to let you know that my Zampieri harp is sounding as fantastic as ever. Here is the video of one of my first performances on your harp:Īnna Toncheva, Moscow State Philharmony, Ensemble “Madrigal” , Moscow / RUSSLAND I wish to express my gratitude for the harp you’ve made for our ensemble. I may let her use the harp in a baroque music performance here in Portland later this autumn.
The contrast between this harp and the used triple I’ve been playing the last four years is huge–all the pieces I’ve been working on sound new again…I’m inspired to practice hard to be worthy of this magnificent instrument…Īfter the strings settle down, I’ll invite Laura Zaerr, the director of the harp program at Univ. The Zampieri is wonderful, the sound is so beautiful I don’t want to stop playing long enough to re-tune or replace strings. Nicolas Achten, ‚Scherzi Musicali’ Brüssel / BELGIEN I could play the solo with a loud organ with principal register and a lirone without having to force the sound! Such a pleasure! I’m enjoying your Bologna triple I just used for Orfeo by Monteverdi. I’m enjoying playing it, and I’ll tell you more, after a few more concerts. The tuning has settled down very well, the basses sound spectacular and everything is very satisfactory. Andrew Lawrence-King, Professor for Early Harp, GUERNSEY Small Zampieri was better than any other harp in the world, but the big one is from another planet!ĭr. THANK YOU!!! This harp really is another dimension. But it is still fresh – I will be fascinated to watch it mature. The only comparison is to the smaller Zampieri, but this big one is of course richer, stronger, smoother, like a very fine old red wine. My new big Zampieri is super, fantastic, beyond anything I have ever played or heard.
