German Double Harpsichord

This German Double is loosely based on an instrument by the German maker Vater. Completely brass strung, this instrument has a rich, direct and clear sound which makes it especially appropriate for chamber music and voice ensemble accompaniment. Note the relatively light weight for a harpsichord!
