harpsichord
(hɑːʳpsɪkɔːʳd )
Word forms: harpsichords
variable noun
A harpsichord is an old-fashioned musical instrument rather like a small piano. When you press the keys, the strings are pulled, rather than being hit by hammers as in a piano.
Resting atop the harpsichord is a piece of sheet music known only from this painting.
