Unfretted Clavichord
Our unfretted clavichord is designed after eighteenth-century Central German models, the sort of instrument favored by C.P.E. Bach. The dynamic range is large, but at a very low level, so the clavichord is too soft to accompany other instruments. This imposing, 61-note (FF-f''') instrument, with its individual pairs of strings for each note, is suitable for much 18th-century music, including the early piano repertoire up to Beethoven. Note: The case in the photo was made from white oak.
