Italian Harpsichord Giusti 1679

This instrument is inspired to the original belonging to the Tagliavini Collection which was built by Giovan Battista GIUSTI in 1679. Its sound is wide and round, unusual thing for an “Italian” and makes it particularly suitable for a wide solo repertoire and for the “basso continuo”.
