Marcos Kaiser Mori Model from 1744 Jean Louvet | |

"I study at Sao Paulo University, and my research is
about early instruments. This instrument was made in
1999, and had the opportunity to meet its model, or at
least what survived from it (made by Jean Louvet in
1744)at the
Musée de La Musique in Paris. It also
survived some very wet days in St. Chartier, and
played in smoky pubs in Hungary before coming back to
Brazil packed with the normal baggage in the plane. It
is a tough girl, but with a sweet voice. Currently
another model, after Pierre Louvet is being made, with
a man´s head with turbant carved. It will be a funny
couple, to contrast with the sober chiffonies at the
workshop."
