      @Ryading Panaakalantayan I'm sorry if i offended you, but this instrument does sound terrible. just hear ua-cam.com/video/JNuk6XZNcpM/v-deo.html, i don't know if it is a stringing problem, a construction, restauration, of the player, or even recording, but here this instrument sounds terrible and one just has to hear other clavichords to notice.

      @adamhufnagel9721 Oh wow, I had no idea they did that. I'm from Rhode Island and there are 2 amazing & huge piano & other wooden instruments shops less than 5 miles from me, they also sell beautiful scores with their original covers (which I'm always collecting from my favorite pieces) I never seen a harpsichord there and maybe that's why I assumed they didn't make them new. Now, I'll have to keep it on my bucket list (Christmas is coming soon, too 😆). Thank you for your lovely reply! 😊

    Guardame las vacas (watching the cows). Luis de Narváez, composed for vihuela de mano (16th century Spanish alternative to the lute, tuned alike but shaped like a guitar).
    Sounds fuller on vihuela though still quiet. A keyboard would allow for more florid variations. The style of Tomas de Santa Maria would be appropriate and lovely.

      The degree of restoration, or if it should be restored at all, must be very carefully considered. The lid painting is a part of the whole instrument. A restoration of just the painting may cause it to look very out of place with the other patinated / soiled (let’s not debate semantics and meanings of those two words...) parts of the instrument.

Check out Norberto Broggini's videos of himself playing original clavichords in the Mirrey collection, keywords "clavichord" plus: 'original Hass'; 'original Hubert'; 'original Mirrey'.
