CLAVIERS BAROQUES presents...
The Double Fretted Clavichord Kit
from 
Designed by David Jacques Way and Marc Ducornet after Hubert
"The clavichord is undoubtedly the most expressive of early keyboard instruments. The mechanism is very simple: when you press a key the brass tangent fixed at the other end functions as a fret and excites the string. As the finger has a direct mechanical connection with the string, simple pressure on the key can produce vibrato (commonly referred to by the German term Bebung). When the finger is lifted from the key, the vibrations travel along the strings and are damped promptly by the listing cloth.
The dynamic range is large, but at a very low level, so the clavichord
is too soft to accompany other instruments. With 51 notes from C to d''',
this instrument is well-suited for beginning kit builders. It has an American
cherry case and spruce soundboard." -- Marc Ducornet.
