Reply To: new project: adapting the C. Wheatstone "Symphonium"

Sounds like a really interesting project Stephen.

I don’t think there’s many Symphoniums about these days. Didn’t the originals have silver or gold reeds?

I’ve never held or played one, just heard a couple on videos, and as you say, the sound isn’t too good. And I believe it went out of fashion because it too so much effort to play.

I’d love to see how your project progresses.
