The first sentence of the "Note relative à l’éxécution"  in the de-Falla-score states "Le clavecin doit ètre aussi sonore que possible." 
If I understand that right, it means: 

The harpsichord must be as sonorous as possible.

Wouldn’t any harpsichord (type)  fit the bill, that is experienced (by whom?) as more sonorous than a Pleyel?


Kind regards

Ibo
