I am preparing a modern performing edition of an 18th Century sacred Latin piece for chorus and orchestra, including continuo. As I am preparing the keyboard realization of the figured bass, I think back to the continuo keyboard parts I have played from (mostly European publications, Baerenreiter, Breitkopf, etc), where the naming of the part is "Cembalo". For an edition such as mine that will be published here in the US, what would be an appropriate substitute term in English to use in place of Cembalo. "Keyboard" is the first thing that comes to mind, but is there something clearer than that to indicate that this is the keyboard realization of the continuo figured bass?

Thanks in advance for your collective wisdom.

Martin
