Great video! Thanks. I didn’t pick up on the range of that dulcichord, the basses are rich sounding. But, so it still makes me wonder what the other fretboard is for? It’s such a short scale.
In an interview by Graham Hood, John explains that, in the original dulcichord configuration, he added a complex mechanism of pedals and levers acting on the shorter neck, but that the result was too noisy to use. This can be seen on the record sleeve.
