How would you describe the sound of the harpsichord? How is it different from the sound of the modern day piano?

Answer:

The sounds produced from a piano differ from the sounds produced from a harpsichord. While the harpsichord comes with five octaves, the piano has seven octaves. Unlike the piano, the harpsichord's dynamic is softer, which means that the notes sustain very little.
