Italian harpsichord, 1 keyboard, GRIMALDI

Single keyboard ITALIAN HARPSICHORD after GRIMALDI

A large Italian harpsichord with very elegant lines the Grimaldi has a long, thin and exceptionally curved bentside. In waxed cypress, it is pure and sumptuous.

The Italian harpsichord has a remarkably different sound from the French and Flemish characterized by a powerful attack very effective in continuo playing.

The sound is brilliant, clean, and quite sweet with a 18th century timbre : a very laudable sparkle.
