The harpsichord was primarily played by musicians in the Baroque period, particularly in the 16th to 18th centuries. It was favored by composers and performers in both secular and sacred music settings, including court musicians, keyboard virtuosos, and composers like Bach and Handel. Typically, those who played the harpsichord were well-educated and often came from affluent backgrounds, as it required both musical training and access to the instrument. The harpsichord was also popular among amateur musicians and families of the wealthy elite as a means of home entertainment.

What type of instrument is the keyboard?

"Keyboard" can describe any number of instruments. The organ, in the classical sense, is a wind instrument. The piano is a percussion instrument as is the harpsichord, clavichord and virginal although the strings of the harpsichord are plucked so it has been said that the harpsichord falls into the same class as harp. Electronic organs are electronic instruments. However Hammond (and other) tone wheel organs are electro-mechanical instruments. Some pipe organs contain electronically generated voices so they are considered hybrid instruments.
