What if I told you, you are the first person on youtube to upload a somewhat entire building process of a clavichord. I am in my own process and this video is incredibly helpful and very important for documentation. Thank you

It’s a nice video, and the instrument sounds wonderful…, but gimme a break! He skipped dozens of steps of the build in this video.

It's such a cruel irony that such a "primitive" musical instrument by today's standards is so incredibly rare and/or expensive to obtain and blueprints are basically impossible to find.

I built a clavichord from a kit In the 1970's, from Burton Harpsichords in Nebraska. I am still playing it nearly every day, almost fifty years later. Thank you for this beautiful video, giving a sense of the process. I am in awe of your workmanship. I wish for you many years of playing your beautiful instrument. Edited to add: I am, like you, an organist, now retired. The clavichord was my home instrument through my career, and I found it very beneficial for developng a good touch for mechanical action organs.

Congratulations on a beautiful instrument, and a beautifully edited video. I built the King of Sweden clavichord kit that I had on the shelf, for something to do during the lockdown in 2020. They are remarkable little instruments. Not quite like my concert harpsichord, but they have a charm all their own, don't they.... Beautiful.

I built a Zuckerman clavichord kit in the 80s but sold it to move out west unfortunately. I have a 5 octave one and have thought of putting heavier tangents on it. Have you ever thought of using very heavy tangents to give a louder sound?

Thanks for commenting! For this clavichord, I came up with my own plans after studying some 17th century instruments. Many things, including plans, can be found here: www.vogel-scheer.de/en/ Another good option would be to look at clavichord kits (pre-manufactured parts, unassembled). Good luck and best regards!

How is the playing portion of the key attatched to the rest of the lever? at 1:44 I can see the two must be made separately. Do you dowl the two together? Awesome video!

Hello Lucas, thanks for the video. May I ask you some questions? I'm thinking of building myself a clavichord and am curious about some particulars. How many hours had it taken you to build this clavichord, from start to finish? Also, I'm thinking of buying a plan from Marc Vogel, and am not sure if plans are enough to build from scratch.
@valentinrichter2 жыл бұрын
Hello, I didn't count exactly, but I estimate that it took me about 350-400 hours of work in total, of which about a third was for planning and organising materials. I can recommend that you join groups that discuss the building of clavichords or harpsichords, for example on facebook. There you can get an impression of the building process and develop a feeling for it. Good Luck! Valentin

What temperament?
@valentinrichter4 ай бұрын
It used to be constructed for a rather mild temperament (somewhat similar to Valotti) - but (by bending the tangents a bit) I changed it to a slightly modified meantone temperament later.

Hallo lieber Valentin Ich bin äusserst interessiert an deinem Clavichord-Projekt, da ich selbst vorhabe ein solches Instrument zu bauen. Ich habe auf deinem Instagram Profil ausserdem gesehen, dass du bereits ein zweites, wunderschönes Clavichord gebaut hast. Da es nur sehr wenig Dokumentation im Internet zu finden gibt, wollte ich dich fragen, ob du bereit wärst, einige zusätzliche Fotos mir per Email zu schicken und/oder ob du mir (falls noch vorhanden) Einsicht in die Pläne geben könntest. Gibt es ausserdem Literatur über Clavichordbau die du mir empfehlen könntest? Vielen Dank im Voraus für deine Antwort. Oeli
