A lautenwerck is a historical keyboard instrument from the Baroque period that combines features of both the lute and the harpsichord. It has a set of strings that are plucked by small plectrums when the keys are pressed. The lautenwerck's strings are arranged inside a wooden case, and its design aims to replicate the warm, resonant sound of a lute while providing the convenience of a keyboard. It is known for its rich, mellow tone and was used primarily in 17th and 18th-century music. The lautenwerck offers a unique and expressive sound that enhances its musical versatility.
