Harpsichord by Giusti, G

The body is made of cypress; the soundboard is thought to be without a rosette. 1 manual, C/E-f3, 8'8'. The two stops can be selected via two internal pull-out levers fitted on the left-hand side. The lower keys are faced with boxwood, the upper keys with ebony. The storage case is still in the museum; it measures 2060 x 870 x 260 mm, is made of spruce, painted a uniform light grey, with the edges of the lid bronzed and the inside of the lid unpainted. The two-part frame with three column-like, turned, bronzed legs has not been preserved. Credit: Uni of Leipzig
