Musicians

It would, of course, sound like a harpsichord because that's how those work!
If you've never played one, it's a weird feeling.
The mechanism snaps over a pivot & the plectrum is very light weight, so you get pretty much the sane volume no matter how hard you hit it. It feels more like a Rhodes than a piano and has almost no dynamic range.
Of course, the early masters didn't know what they were missing, so they wrote music to match the capability.
At the University of Illinois, I got to play one that was from the 1600s. Beautifully restored old instrument.
