Description

It was hard to resist a visit to the Bachhaus, with several old instruments; this clavichord is a good example of the instrument Bach used to practice. The sound of this instrument is remarkably soft and an example can be listened at http://www.twingroves.district96.k12.il.us/renaissance/Town/Music/Clavichord.html. Too bad about the power-outlet and cables but I was glad to discover the house is accessible and well-equipped with appopriate furniture.

Nice to get that insight. There were a family of instruments along similar lines too, the Harpischord being my favourite. http://sankey.ws/history.html

I got distracted by the site you link to! It sounds beautiful. I like the virginal better. And, now I have discovered what to do with turpentine and pomegranate seeds. Nice image. Maybe you could clone out the electrics?

Hi JC !! Great idea showing us this old " clavier" Bach's !! Yes agree, pity viewing electric plugs, obviously not necessary for this instrument !! Any case that's a memorable and wonderful pic q:)

The clavichord could be played at night without disturbing anyone, for instance sleeping children[of which Bach had many]. Bach had to produce a cantate every week. That must have been pretty difficult to complete and deliver on time. By using the clavichord, he could work at a quite time at night. Thank you for sharing these pictures. Have a good day, J.C.!
