Interesting instrument. I assume related to the Harpsichord

Hi Bill,

Actually, its "intended" relative is the Lute, at least tonally, and one can vary the dynamics by light or heavy touch or everything in between - Now thats something you can't do on a harpsichord.

Very interesting instrument - hadn't heard of it before, and found info on Wikipedia for the Lautenwerck
Apparently JS Bach owned 2 of these at the time of his death.

Lovely piece CD and I can see some resemblance in shape to the lute.

Hi teddles,

Indeed - The really excellent Lautenwerck makers can build you one in many different forms.

If only I could play it. Or afford it.
