Harpsichord by Hans Müller in the National Museum Of Musical Instruments in Rome, Italy. The oldest harpsichord that was built just north of the Alps by Hans Müller. Müller constructed this beautiful instrument in 1537 in Leipzig, Germany. This is the only known German harpsichord of the 16th century still in existence. A harpsichord produces sound by the plucking of a string when a key is pressed. They were very popular in renaissance and baroque music. In the 18th century the harpsichord began to disappear from the musical scene as the piano rose to popularity.Located in the Palazzina Samoggia, formerly the “Prince of Piedmont” barracks near the Basilica of the Holy Cross in Jerusalem, the National Museum Of Musical Instruments houses a collection of over 3000 exquisite musical instruments.An important part of the instruments displayed origin from the collection of the important Italian lyric tenor Gennaro Evangelista Gorga 1865-1957, in art Evan.
