This large spinet with its original range of five octaves is suitable for High Baroque compositions, particularly German. It is ideal for chamber ensemble or as basso continuo in a smaller chamber orchestra. Its range also makes it suitable for solo performance or as a practice instrument. But has all the attributes of a top-class instrument of its type.
