Neupert Telemann Harpsichord
The Neupert Telemann is a compact single-manual harpsichord whose size and register layout focus on the essentials. At 143 cm long, with a C–f3 compass and 8′ and 4′ registers, it is used for music-making at home, in music schools, on narrow organ lofts and for continuo in concert halls. According to Neupert, it is the most-produced harpsichord model in the world.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a divided lute stop do?
The lute register on the Telemann can be switched on separately in the bass and treble. This means one hand can use the lute colour while the other plays the open 8′ sound.
Will the Telemann fit in a small space?
At 143 × 80 cm, the Telemann is Neupert’s shortest harpsichord, designed with limited spaces such as homes, schools or organ lofts in mind. Despite its small size, it has a full, clear and far-carrying sound.
