harpsichord

A stringed keyboard instrument much used in the baroque era in music. The keys of a harpsichord move small devices that pluck the strings; the strings are not struck with hammers, as in a piano. Thus, although harpsichords often look much like pianos, their characteristic tinkly sound is unlike that of the piano, and a harpsichordist cannot change the volume of the sound by striking the keys harder, as a pianist can. - New Dictionary of Cultural Literacy

got this shot yesterday out in Chickamauga at jenn green's grandmother's house. i was out shooting jenn's bridal portraits, and stumbled upon this beautiful piece of workmanship in the parlor.

if everything goes as planned, we (morris, brent, mesh, kiko, bethany and i) hit the road around 5pm today for gainesville for the thanksgiving break. hope everyone has a great weekend!
