Hi folks! I've been lurking for a bit, but here's an #introduction. I'm a graduate student in #musicology, mostly working on early music. Periodization is difficult (and so early music is an acceptably vague term), but my interests primarily concern music in Europe between the late-ish middle ages and 1750. I studied Classical Liberal Arts in my undergraduate education, so I also enjoy connecting musicological research with other disciplines, especially classics, philosophy, theology, and history. Besides my academic work, I'm a harpsichord technician and a web developer.

Here is a nice list of things I can be curmudgeonly about:
- Musicology
- Early music (#Medieval, #Renassance, #Baroque)
- Historiography
- Medievalism (is interesting both in relation to medieval history and as its own phenomenon)
- Philosophy
- #Harpsichords
- Keyboard #temperaments (the squiggle on the WTC cover page is just a scribble)
- #Latin
- Sustainable #agriculture
- Web development
- #IndieWeb

How a 500-Year-Old Italian Cembalo Sounds?

This video features an Italian cembalo from around 1540, part of the collection of the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg.
It is the oldest instrument in the collection and one of the ten oldest surviving harpsichords in the world.
