The Harpsichord
The harpsichord, with its bright, plucked-string sound, is an instrument steeped in history. Particularly popular in the Baroque era, it became the centerpiece of royal courts and the intricate works of Johann Sebastian Bach, Georg Friedrich Händel, and Domenico Scarlatti. Preceding the modern piano, the harpsichord produces sound by plucking its strings with quills or plastic plectrums. Its unmistakable tone – both vibrant and delicate – perfectly captures the opulence of the Baroque period. In modern music, the harpsichord has been rediscovered, experiencing a resurgence in everything from film and TV soundtracks to psychedelic rock, thus maintaining its status as a timeless bridge between past and present. Our digital representation features a two-manual instrument that offers the choirs 8' solo, 8' double, and tutti (a combination of two 8' choirs and one 4' choir).
