A spinet in the early 18th Century English style (maybe Hitchcock or after Hitchcock). They usually have this 'bell-like' sound in the treble, just like some early 19th Century English pianofortes.

It actually sounds more like a harp to me than a harpsichord/spinet. Either way, still a great performance.

wow. fantastic

The sound of that spinet is gorgeus. ( first, I thought it was a harpsichord )
Is there a recent movie about Domenico Scarlatti? I will try to get it.

The spinet is a harpsichord. The difference is how the strings are laid out inside. In a regular harpsichord, they are laid out parallel to the keys like a grand piano. In a spinet and virginal, they are perpendicular to the keys making the instrument narrower. The sound is a bit rounder and fuller like the back 8' on a large harpsichord.
