Herr Beurmann used to keep many of his instruments quite a bit below  
the (assumed) intended pitch level, - for reasons of conservation.  
Generally this makes them sound quite dark and this, as I repeatedly  
experience, fascinates many of the players and listeners that visit  
the collection.

After a concert with the instrument in question (20 years ago), G.  
O'Brien asked me with a smile on his face, whether I thought, this  
was what the Ruckers' would have sounded like. He was quite sure that  
the actual sound didn't have a lot to do with that...
