German Single-Manual Harpsichord
This instrument was added to satisfy a steady demand from perfomers wanting to play German music on the most appropriate type of harpsichord.
Our German Single is based on an instrument by the German maker Vater.
The rich and clear sound is especially useful for chamber music and choral accompaniment, while the shorter length of the instrument and simple screw-in legs ensure ease of moving.
