Pedal Harpsichord

The pedal harpsichord was first used in 1460. For centuries it served as an excellent tool for playing organ literature on the harpsichord in a home or concert setting.

The NEUPERT pedal harpsichord uses a keyboard assembly according to the organ standard, and the harpsichord is manufactured so that it can be combined with any NEUPERT. In combination with the NEUPERT Harpsichord model “Couperin”, the NEUPERT Harpsichord “Cristofori” is used externally, with the NEUPERT pedal as harpsichord.
