Fresh Wind

  • A fresh wind for the organ?
  • Why should we use electronics to help us play a clarinet?
  • How were wind instruments made in earlier times, and from what materials?
  • May we still play historical instruments?

Questions like these have been the focus of 14 applied research projects on wind instruments at the HKB. FRESH WIND provides answers, and offers practical solutions in the realm of instrument-making.
