A harpsichord is a keyboard instrument that produces sound by plucking strings when keys are pressed. It was widely used during the Renaissance and Baroque periods and features a distinctive tone that differs from modern pianos. Unlike pianos, which use hammers to strike the strings, harpsichords create a more delicate and articulate sound, making them popular for early Classical Music. The instrument typically has one or more manuals (keyboards) and can vary in size and design.
