Italian Harpsichord Giusti
ONE INSTRUMENT IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE ON SALE
Italian Harpsichord, copy from G. B. Giusti, Lucca 1681
Probably one of our most popular models is the Italian harpsichord “Giusti”.
This version is inspired by two instruments by G. B. Giusti preserved in the museums of Nürnberg and Berlin.
The classically Italian timbre, lively and singing, is however not excessively dry, making the instrument appropriate for various repertoires.
The extension of its range to five octaves makes it suitable for the study of the entire harpsichord repertoire.
It finds its ideal employment in concerted music, whether vocal or instrumental, and is able to provide excellent support even to a large orchestral group.
