Venetian harpsichord making flourished, with the creation of sumptuous instruments of unparalleled quality by Baffo, Trasuntino, Patavinus, Pisaurensis and others. Of Gabrieli's six printed collections, the first is expressly intended for the organ and the other four specify "per sonar sopra istromenti da tasti". At the time, harpsichords of a completely finished standard could be found in palaces, homes and even in the homes of ... barbers, who had a widely-used right to give music concerts and even to teach music; just another way of keeping their customers waiting... with music!
