Harpsichord in popular culture
The harpsichord has a highly distinctive sound that often finds use in popular music. The archaic character of the harpsichord (it was for many decades obsolete and unplayed, and had to be revived in the twentieth century) also makes it appropriate for conveying a sense of history or archaicness, and thus has made the harpsichord a useful atmospheric device for other forms of popular culture.
