text: This is because the strings are plucked instead of struck with hammers as in a piano.
text: The harpsichord does not have pedals to modify its dynamics; after the string is plucked, its sound dies quickly.
text: When the keys on a harpsichord are depressed, the strings are plucked, rather than struck, with either quills or leather picks called plectra.
