Freddie. Duude. You forget the physics of music. You CAN bang Bach on the piano (if you get him good&drunk - Ish can provide instructions). But a harpsichord is sort of a reverse piano. It uses these leather thingies like cat's tongues (and nooo they did NOT use 88 cats per 'chord, folks - relax)to pluck or twoing at teh strings. Soooo - you could *pluck Johann* on the harpsichord - with as much precision and delicacy as you care to muster.

It occurs to me that JSB wrote a great deal of music for the King's Instrument. So banging Bach on the piano must take a distant backhk seat to blowing Bach on the organ.
