This instrument, strictly, does not belong with the series of 'Mozart' 5-octave harpsichords.  It is identical in its construction to the rest of the 4-octave Neapolitan harpsichords built previously except that it has a soundboard made of fir (abies alba) and not of spruce (picea excelsa) - see the construction  section for details of the wood used.
