The harpsichord is a string instrument, much like the piano in size, shape and the way you play it (for harpsichords with one keyboard). You press keys that will engange a simple mechanism which will pluck (not hammer) the strings and produce the note's sound. It was invented around the XVI century rose to popularity and then fell as the piano gained life.

A harmonium is a keyboard instrument similar to a pump organ, but smaller. It was invented in England but has become most popular in India and other eastern nations. It is played by pressing down keys on the front with one hand and pumping an air pump in the back. Some harmoniums come with foot pedals for controlling the pump, allowing two-handed play.
