Ron and Virginal

Ron naps comfortably atop a virginal, a small, rectangular type of harpsichord. Submitted by Ann Ramsey (@annxramsey on Threads).

Virginals use the same plucking mechanism for the springs as standard harpsichords, but usually only have one string per key, and lay them out transversely in a rectangular case like we see with Ron’s keyboard above.

  1. I’d never seen a virginal before, at least not as far as I know. Fascinating how many different instruments there are in the world.

    Ron is a very handsome guy.
