HARPSICHORD

Picture of Harpsichord

The harpsichord was a harp-shaped musical instrument set horizontally on legs, like the grand piano, with strings of wire, played by the fingers, by means of keys provided with quills, instead of hammers, for striking the strings. It has now been superseded by the piano.
