After 3 days and nights sampling every drum and every cymbal, using different sticks at different velocities, at different places on the drums.

No king's court was complete without one. The SONiVOX DVI Harpsichord is a faithful reproduction of the real thing- right down to the lightly percussive thunk when you release the keys. Import a slice of European nobility straight to your computer for a fraction of what Mozart's father paid.
