The plucking part is the same, but a traditional/acoustic one of course isn't gonna have the electric pickups, but use resonation in state. The difference is basically analogous to an electric guitar versus a traditional/acoustic guitar. One other difference is that a traditional harpsichord usually has two rows of keys, so this is a more simplified design in that regard.
i sold one at riverside organs in kingstion 50 years ago,but my pride anf joy now is a 2 manual allen digital harpsichord
Allen harpsichord sound similar?
@@bebopfantan2672 perfect.you can even hear the plectrum sounds.
a real harpsichord (with guitar pickups)
And it's easier to record
I had no idea they had them! I guess it has electric pickups, like an electric guitar!😁
He said it at 3.10. The black curved thing over the strings is the pick-up.
@@bertvdlast Yes it's a Harpsichord with Pickups above the strings
It's very similar to a Hohner D3
I have one of these I got for free. It's missing the legs and pedals and it needs restringing but I have it.
Want to sell ?

0:50 What piece was that?
Was hoping you'd also play a little "I'm Gonna Love You Just A Little More" Barry White.
Nice instrument, great demo!
Wasn't that a Clavinet? Probably the best intro ever.
@@Rhythmicons could be doubled with a clavinet too
That sound reminds me of the Sierra Online splash screen at the beginning of Kings Quest
i know. i want more.
Pretty serious gap in your demo if you’re leaving out the Partridge Family theme
Justice owns one of these
they used on Because.
Hi, do you know what size tuning hammer is used on this instrument? Mine is wildly out of tune.
Same as an autoharp
Very interesting for gear freaks like me!
How does the action compare to a traditional harpsichord?

@@Bike_Lion traditional harpsichords can have either one or two manuals. one is actually more common.
