A harpsichord is a keyboard instrument that produces sound by plucking strings with small plectrums when the keys are pressed. It typically has a wooden case and strings stretched across a frame. Unlike the piano, which uses hammers to strike the strings, the harpsichord's plucking action gives it a distinctive, bright, and somewhat metallic sound. It was widely used during the Renaissance and Baroque periods and is known for its role in early classical music. The harpsichord’s clear, articulate tones make it ideal for playing intricate, ornamental music.
