In the Large Drawing Room, visitors can find a rare double instrument on which both virginal and harpsichord can be played. Listen to how the instrument sounds.
The Moretus family bought several valuable harpsichords over the years, but only this instrument can still be found in the house today.
Only four copies exist worldwide.
What this instrument sounds like? Listen to an excerpt played on a copy of the double instrument in Museum Plantin-Moretus.
