Harpsichord Fingering
Position at the keyboard
To be seated at a good height, the underside of the elbows wrists and fingers are level. The center of the body and that of the keyboard should coincide. One should turn very slightly to the right, the knees not pressed together, with the right foot extended. One must have an air of ease at the harpsichord (François Couperin, 1716). The elbows are a bit below the level of the keyboard, so the hands are as if glued to the keys, giving the fingers a ...

The Difference Between Piano and Harpsichord Touch
Anyone who has ever played a harpsichord knows that the touch is entirely different from a piano's. The harpsichord feels "crunchy." This is because in depressing the key you must overcome the resistance the plectrum is exerting against the string. You can *feel* when the plectrum passes by the string.

Glad you could make it! Let me take you on a personal tour of these extraordinary historical keyboard instruments!
