Updates on the sales page

© Tilman Skowroneck June 2021

I’ve recently added an antique French (anonymous) pardessus de viole (located in Paris) on my “sales” page, and updated the information on the English bentside spinet made by Martin Skowroneck in 1968 (a demo video here). I am also listing an Italian harpsichord for sale in The Netherlands. The “sales” page is being updated regularly.

Martin Skowroneck obituary published

© Tilman Skowroneck 2015, updated 2 May 2016.

My new article “Remembering Martin Skowroneck (1926-2014)” is now available in the most recent issue of the yearbook of the Westfield Center for Historical Keyboard Studies,

Keyboard Perspectives Vol. VII/2014, pp. 147-164 (table of contents and editor’s preface here).

The article includes a “List of Large Keyboard Instruments by Martin Skowroneck”. This will be my only article-length Skowroneck-obituary.

Keyboard Perspectives can be ordered directly by sending an e-mail to info@westfield.org.

The remainder of this very promising Vol. VII, edited by Tom Beghin, is dedicated to Beethoven’s Hammerklavier sonata Op. 106.
