Another Australian soundboard… The acclaim of Diana Ford’s first soundboard decoration using Australian flowers and fruits rendered in the style of early Ioannes Ruckers excited us—and gave the impetus for similar on a subsequent new instrument commission for the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music, Singapore. There were a few flower substitutions made and the plain Willie wagtail of the previous board made way for the more colorful Scarlet robin, poised about to devour an insect. Diana completed the soundboard decoration for this instrument in January 2010. |
