Choosing your model

Questions you may ask yourself, when considering the purchase of a new harpsichord:

• What kind of instrument do I need ?
• A Single or double manual ?
• For solo or continuo music ?
• What style (decoration) etc…?

Each of the diverse European historical schools such as the Flemish, English, French, German or Italian possesses its own aesthetic, appeal be it visually or acoustically.

EACH INSTRUMENT IS UNIQUE

Every single instrument within any of these schools is a unique handcrafted work of art. Nowadays, any music basically can be played on a good harpsichord, but the musician will most likely want to perform a particular style piece of music with the appropriate instrument: German music with a German of Flemish harpsichord for instance. This though, does not need to be a strict rule, as some Northern type instruments can sometimes have a perfect sound spectrum for Italian music or vice-versa.

As a result, many professional players own several instruments. Most of the time, though, people have to make up their own mind and focus on a type of instrument that will do for most of their purposes.
