1821 Broadwood.  Beethoven himself had a very similar model, which Broadwood presented him with.  However, the manufacturer made sure to get the 'present' back after Beethoven's death....
I played the first movement of the op.110 Sonata on this one - it was actually composed in the very same 1821 :)









A replica of a harpsichord, made nowadays






A lock of Beethoven's hair (read on the photo below)






Another harpsichord replica






1827.  It had 6 pedals!
