I agree with shallow blue.

Actually I didn't know anything came out of the middle ages except for chaucer.

. . . other than being able to push your slaves twice at first and allowing them to juke and back stab another slave if conditions permit.

A lot of good stuff came out of medieval times; something for every taste -- what's yours?

I recall harpsichord music was big then. And a lot of lutes and lyres...

I think you are a lyre...
Seriously, I think Harpsichords came a few hundred years later. I think in mideaval times it was hammer dulcimers and sackbuts and such, maybe some kind of primitive keyboard, not as good as the commodore 64, for instance🙂

Then you don't really agree with me after all😛, 'cause I've read a handful of ME works beside Chaucer, and another handful (or more) of MNL ones.

Probably so, but some of those tunes on my Medieval album that I play at D&D games sure sounds like a harpsichord. Perhaps that dulcimer sounds similar?

The difference in the sound of hammer dulcimer and harpsichord is the harpsichord is plucked like a guitar, little quills pluck the strings each time the keys are pressed but a hammer dulcimer is struck from above with little wooden sticks curved to meet the strings. Plucking gives more higher harmonics I think. Nemisio, correct me if I am wrong about that.
