Discover what it’s like to play a keyboard instrument tuned in historic temperaments.

During the Artistic Temperaments Festival, the University of Southampton Music Department is offering the chance to play historic keyboard instruments in the University’s Keyboard Room.

You’ll have the chance to play the Schantz pianoforte (a modern replica of the Viennese Grand of 1802) and the Taskin 2-manual harpsichord (modern replica of Paris 1769), with Music Students on hand to support you.
