The Harpsichord sounds when a key is pressed and the jack plucks the string. As the jack returns a felt damper dampens the string. Several jacks can be connected to each key, and more than one string to each note which results in different sounds: add more strings and the sound is increased, the string always being plucked in the same way. A lute or harp stop can give a different sound, leather or delrin (plastic) jacks alter the sound produced as well. Peau de Buffe (Buffalo hide leather ) produces yet another "color". The major English Harpsichord makers of the 18th century were Burkat Shudi, John Broadwood and Jacob Kirchman in England, the Ruckers family of Antwerp, and Pascal Taskin in France, The Harpsichord declined in popularity when the piano became fashionable until Erard and Pleyal started its modern revival in France, and Arnold Dometsch in England began to present early music on antique instruments
