Compared to the simplicity of the historic-style harpsichord, the twentieth-century or revival harpsichord could well appear intimidating. The case is made out of walnut and satinwood veneer. The five octave keyboard, FF to f3, is decorated with rosewood naturals and ivory overlaid accidentals. The instrument has seven pedals who control the registers.
