Italian Harpsichord
"Giusti 1679"
Some examples of personalized design
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”.
