Although a great
deal of exceptional German harpsichord music is left to us, especially
the music of J.S. Bach, very few German harpsichords have survived into
modern times.
Rather than traceable
national traditions, German harpsichord making was more closely tied to
the individual maker or family, and their style of building.
If you have an interest
in a particular German harpsichord, please do not hesitate to inquire.

In no other country
was the clavichord given higher regard than in Germany. It is mentioned
in many treatises, being the ideal instrument to perfect one's keyboard
skills, and revered by many famous composers of the time.
