This article takes a deeper look at the harpsichord in the collection of the Museo Casa de la Bola, a unique example of its kind in Mexico City. Since the origin of the instrument is unknown, we first need to determine its geographic provenance. To obtain this information, a thorough study was carried out to analyze, on the one hand, the structural characteristics of the harpsichord by comparing it against those referenced in the existing literature and, on the other, the microscopic anatomy of the wood by taking samples for the analysis of its cellular structures. The results show that both aspects correspond to Italian harpsichord building traditions during the Baroque period, particularly those associated with the city of Naples.
