Flemish (Dutch: Vlaams) is a popular informal term to refer to Belgian Dutch (Dutch: Belgisch-Nederlands) and is derived from the name of the County of Flanders (Historical region in the Low Countries), from Middle Dutch vlamisch, vlemesch.

Muselaar Flemish Virginals

Spinet Spinet Clavicytherium

The virginal, spinet, and clavicytherium are all varieties of harpsichord that differ from it primarily in size, shape, and musical resources. Virginals and spinets usually have only a single set of strings and a single row of jacks. The clavicytherium is basically a harpsichord set upright so that its soundboard is vertical.
