Why piano called keyboard instrument?
Any instrument which produces music by means of touching the keys on a keyboard, one key for each note, is a keyboard instrument. That is how a piano works, and an organ, and a harpsichord, and a clavichord. The most recent invention is a simple electric keyboard that is plugged into an amplifier with speaker. This is sometimes simply called a keyboard.
What type of insrtyment is a harpsichord?
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.
Who wrote music for the harpsichord?
The harpsichord was the central keyboard instrument for secular settings from 1400 to 1780, and all composers who were born and lived during that period would have written their keyboard music for the harpsichord. The last major composers who wrote music for the harpsichord were Mozart, Haydn, and Beethoven. Beethoven's Pathetique Sonata was written for both harpsichord and fortepiano. The most important composers for the harpsichord were: the English Virginal Composers such as Byrd, Bull, Gibbons, Farnaby, etc.; Frescobaldi, Froberger, Sweelinck, Chambonieres, L. Couperin, D'Anglebert; and of course the greatest being Bach, Handel, Scarlatti, F. Couperin, and Rameau. Most of the music written for the harpsichord since the 18th century is neither as charming, profound, sensible, or fitting to the characteristics of the harpsichord's special qualities. Rather it is merely the overlay of the modern style of music (being Atonal in nature) superimposed on that timbre, which is one reason why most music written in our time for this particular instrument finds so few enthusiasts. By contrast, the earlier styles of music grew out of an understanding of the nature and advantages of the sound of the harpsichords of those times and as such were constructed around the sound peculiar to the harpsichord.
What one instrument would be likely NOT play the basso continuo in a Baroque musical piece a lute b violin c harpsichord d cello?
Basso continuo consists of two components. The first is a bass instrument to play the foundation - most often it would be a cello, but could also include a bassoon.

This eventually became the computer keyboard by way of the teletype keyboard and keypunch machines. The musical keyboard was invented as part of the harpsichord, which was probably invented in the Middle Ages. No one knows who the inventor might have been. The keyboard was adopted by the piano (also called pianoforte or harpsichord pianoforte, meaning harpsichord with soft and loud) and from there was adopted for other musical applications during the 20th century

Why doesn't the A on my keyboard the instrument one not make a sound?
It depends on what kind of keyboard it is, but most electronic units (organs & synths) have something called a contact at the end of the key (inside the housing). They can get dirty enough not to work. In rare cases they can have a wire detached, and I suppose they can break (but that is rare). More times than not it's dust or dirt. Have it cleaned or look up how to do it on the web, but use with proper contact cleaner. DO NOT USE soap and water. That can wreck them (I did that once, with my first keyboard - never again). If it is an acoustic instrument (piano, harpsichord, melodica) then something mechanical has broken. Again, it depends on what kind of keyboard it is.
How do you copy more than one line on your keyboard?

What are the 5 different keyboard instruments and what are they?
There is the organ, piano, harpsichord, synthesiser, and the alto. The organ is a huge instrument that whenever a key is pressed the sound comes out of a huge tube. The harpsichord is an electric version of the piano. The piano is whenever a key is pressed a hammer hits one of the strings, the alto is a lot like the piano, and the synthesiser is also like the piano.
Can the harpsichord play piano and fortedynamics like the piano?
No. The harpsichord is not capable of producing a wide range of dynamics unlike the piano. Since its strings are plucked and not hit, the harpsichord can only keep one toned dynamic. Because of this, performances with different acoustics are difficult due to the limits of the harpsichord.
