I had a real interesting professor in the classics department during college. Wild long hair, skinny as a rail, and he carried a harpsichord everywhere. At about 5 mins before the end of class, he would pause, go pick the harpsichord up and play a little song, then we could leave. He also asked that we not use typewriters to generate assignments. Just use a pencil. If we had to use a typewriter, please attach all pages to a clothesline in the sunshine to cleanse it.
Our Harpsichord needed a few people to move. The harpsichord is a historical keyboard instrument that produces sound by plucking strings rather than striking them, setting it apart from the modern piano. It was a foundational instrument during the Renaissance and Baroque eras (16th to mid-18th centuries) before being largely replaced by the piano.

And you know what they say, if it ain't baroque, don't fix it. I can not hear baroque without that coming to mind, my apologies.
Maybe an autoharp? Harpsichords are portable like pianos ...
Perhaps a Ottavino?
Probably. That makes more sense.
Way ahead of his time, I'd say. The lessons about frequency affect everything.
