The British Harpsichord Society has been created to promote the awareness, enjoyment, study, performance and ownership of harpsichords and related plucked keyboard instruments in Britain. Harpsichords, spinets and virginals are included. Pianos, fortepianos and clavichords are not. It is intended to complement many existing resources and sources of information, to be as comprehensive as possible. It is also intended to arrange meetings, talks and concerts to bring together people interested in harpsichords.
