Musician and musicologist
Christopher Stembridge’s special field of interest is Italian keyboard music of the renaissance and early baroque.
He has given particular attention, since 1980, to historic keyboard instruments that have, or are known to have had, extra chromatic keys, split-keys.
On this website you will find a variety of articles and recordings, as well as details of editions and CDs, and also links to other sites.
