harpsichordist

/ˈhɑɹpsəˌkɔɹdɪst/ noun

One who plays the harpsichord.

Word Origin Harpsichord is a compound of harp (from Proto-Germanic) and chord (from Latin chorda 'string') — so it's literally a 'harp-string' instrument. The harpsichordist is the one who plays it. The word chord also gives us cord (a string) and accord (agreement, from 'to be in tune').
