The "Troubadour" Virginal

Professional harpsichordists have been asking us for a small instrument, something that could be handled by one person and easily transported to continuo and accompanying engagements. It would have to have a big sound, one that could cut through a small orchestra or ensemble; and it had to be stable, so that frequent tuning wasn't required. It dawned on us that such an instrument would not only serve the professional, but also those who are looking for a relatively inexpensive instrument for home use as well. So we designed the "Troubadour" virginal for the working musician and for those who want a small harpsichord.
