We have 4 Italian single manual Giusti harpsichords available. Our instruments are inspired by an original instrument by Giovanni Baptista Giusti that he built in 1679. The Italian harpsichord builder Giovanni Baptista Giusti had his workshop in Ferrara and built harpsichords between 1676 and 1694. Our instruments are characterized by a powerful high and resonant bass, a dry but flexible tone and rich sound, perfect for colorful Italian music.
