:-)       It's a virginal, he just insists on calling it a harpsichord!!
Organist, ya know!
 
It works like a harpsichord, but is rectangular, with the keylength
increasing up the scale.

What don't I know here? If it's a harpsichord, it's a harpsichord. Isn't it?

I thought a Virginal was a totally different thing. Been wrong before.
Probably 
am again. But at the university, we have two harpsichords. :-)
