Picture of harpsichord, clavichord - ITAL. HARPSICHORD FROM GERMANY

Built in the style of the Italian Harpsichord of the 16th century, this instrument is extremely light, weighing only 14 kg. This harpsichord is very compact, small enough and light enough to be transportable in a small car yet still capable of producing the sound of a full-size instrument. Strung as a single 8� in hand drawn brass and scaled to a 16th century virginals pattern this harpsichord produces a fine clear Italianate sound tuned to either a=415 or a=440.
