Italian Harpsichord after Grimaldi by Marc Ducornet. These long and slender harpsichords, with no embellishment other than their graceful shape and complex architectural moldings, are among the most handsome and eloquent examples of Italian harpsichord building that have come down to us. This splendid instrument, with its beautifully vocal treble and powerful bass, is a favorite instrument amongst many harpsichordists.
