French Harpsichord 1E L8 L4 U8

The harpsichord is a predecessor to the piano and produces its sound by plucking strings with quills when the keys are pressed. The sounds of the strings are then acoustically amplified by the body of the instrument. The pitch of a set of strings is described in feet like the pipes of an organ. An 8 foot string set sounds one octave lower than a 4 foot. Released May 2010
