          This is small Italian style harpsichord inspired by an original instrument
          in the Stren Collection of the University of Michigan in Ann arbor.  This
          harpsichord is ideal as a continuo instrument.  It has a wonderfully clear,
          clean, bright sound that carries well in an ensemble.  Small size and low
          weight make it highly portable.  It is in the Inner/Outer style, that is,
          there appears to be a Cypress instrument inside a painted case with lid.
          Of course, this instrument is perfect for the earlier harpsichord repertoire.
          Being single strung makes less tension on the soundboard helping to create 
          a rich tone.  Brass stringing makes a sweet and warm voice.
