A harpsichord was the keyboard instrument before piano fortes, the modern piano. Unlike a piano, where hammars hit the strings, a harpsichord's strings were plucked by quills, or "jacks."
Harpsichords were used by Bach and other composers of that time period.

∙ 14y agoThe harpsichord produces sound by strings being plucked by quills. The piano is now more widely used because its strings are instead hammered, which gives it more power and dynamic versatility than the harpsichord.
