20 Dec 07 - 03:35 PM (#2219846) Subject: RE: Tech: harpsichord (real or digital) From: Brendy I understand that it is primarily Englsh folk/traditional you are looking for, but The Bothy Band in the person of Tríona Ní Dhomhnaill used the harpsichord to great effect in Irish Trad. B. |

21 Dec 07 - 03:56 AM (#2220166) Subject: RE: Tech: harpsichord (real or digital) From: Brendy Not at all, in my opinion. If it's not the main instrument or melody carrier, then it shouldn't 'colour' your sound too much that way. B. |
