Fretted Clavichord Hubert
This clavichord is “fretted”, that is the same string produces two different notes, one semitone apart. In this way less strings are needed, with a big advantage regarding instrument size, semplicity in tuning, and less pressure on the sounboard, with a very robust and singing sound.
Christian Gottlob Hubert (1714-1793) was one of the most famous clavichord builders of the 18th century. He built organs, harpsichords and fortepianos, but only a few of his clavichords have survived to this day.
