what is the part on the inside of the harpsichord that causes the strings to sound
1 answer
The part on the inside of the harpsichord that causes the strings to sound is called the plucking mechanism. This mechanism typically consists of a series of small plectra (or quills) attached to a jack, which is activated by pressing a key on the keyboard. When a key is pressed, the jack is lifted, causing the plectrum to pluck the corresponding string, producing sound.
