Leonardo’s instrument? No, it’s a reproduction of an obscure German contraption

I often wonder if da Vinci ever had time to sleep. Such an amazing man.

That is SO Cool!

I studied Art (during the 1960’s) in the Basement of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. At that time, there was a room at the end of the corridor where we had our classes. In that room was a collection of antique musical instruments, some of which dated back to the middle Ages.

I was allowed to play some of them, as I was a student at the museum.

I had the unique thrill of playing my own compositions on a harpsichord that dated back to the time of Mozart.
