A '''harpsichord''' is a [[string instrument]] similar to a [[piano]], but its strings are plucked rather than hammered. The harpsichord was known to exist as early as the 1500's. It was supplanted by the piano in the 1800's.<ref>[http://cfaonline.asu.edu/haefer/classes/564/564.papers/pierceharpsichord.html History of the Harpsichord in Eighteenth Century France and the Flemish Influence by Janet Pierce]</ref>
