I play the harpsichord

A fascinating instrument was E.Power Biggs' "Pedal Harpsichord" that was made for him by John Challis.

Pedal-harpsichords were fairly common in Germany in the 18th century - they were used by organists as a practice instrument.

Biggs played a lot of Bach organ works on his pedal-harpsichord - it certainly brings out different aspects of the music! And it's easier to keep one at home than a pipe organ!
