Clavichord is the oldest and quietest keyboard instrument.

Harpsichord was very popular in Renaissance and Baroque period.

Sound is produced by plucking string when a key is pressed.

Other similar but smaller instruments were virginal, muselar and spinet.

What three keyboard instruments existed before the piano?

pianoforte literally is the Italian for loud and soft, and the piano is called this because it can produce loud and soft sounds. Before the invention of the piano keyboard instruments could only produce one level of sound ie loud, so composers worked in stepped dynamics or terraced dynamics ie there were no crescendos. Keyboard instruments used in compositions before the invention of the piano are the organ, the harpsichord, the virginal, the spinnet, the clavichord. Harpsichords have opposite coloured keys to pianos ie the white keys are black and the black keys are white.
