Outline of Final Research Achievements

(1) To visit and play the survived split-keyed instruments, as well as modern replicas gives us the conviction that playing the 17th century’s repertoire in meantone temperament with those divided accidentals makes those repertoire sound with essential charms, which is often missing in the modified temperaments.　(2) To reserach the cases that those split-keyed instruments are used today, particularly at the case with the educational institutions like Conservatory van Amsterdam,Goteborg University gives us the view for the future plan to purchase those instruments and give the younger generations the opportunity to study on those instruments.　(3) We gave a lecture-concert with the split-keyed harpsichord (built by Mokuzan Kayano as a trial), and the split-keyed positiv organ (built by Marc Garnier) in March 2015 , and the students concerts with the split-keyed harpsichord (by Kayano) in July and November 2016, as well as the masterclass by Prof.Jos van Immerseel in March 2016.
