Here are a few pictures taken in my workshop during the early stages of building the instrument.
Preparing a board of cherry for the case.
Case nearly complete with diagonal brace, hitchpin rail, balance rail and wrest plank fitted.
Fitting the key levers.
I just managed to get this double-fretted clavichord finished by the end of 2007. The casework and stand are made in English cherry with an oiled finish. It has just over 4 octaves (from C to e”’) and is a copy of an instrument by an anonymous maker built around 1740 and preserved in the Gemeentemuseum in the Hague.
