Abstract
The harpsichord is a plucked string keyboard instrument which was prominent during the 16th through 18th centuries. In this thesis, we set out to physically model the complex interaction between the harpsichord plectrum and string during the plucking event. The modeling efforts are aided by various experimental work, and the model is later extended with additional digital filters with a focus on sound synthesis.
