Fantastic! What a nice job. Those fishing lines sound pretty good. I am nearing completion of a 4" X 13", 12 note clavichord built from scrap. I hope to post it soon. With only a 12 note compass it is of very limited utility, but my main goal was to get it to do what a clavichord should. That will be victory enough for me, on this, my first build. Again. Excellent job! Thanks for sharing.

Actually I think it is the clavicybalum that predates both by 50-100 some odd years. Look up Arnault Zwolle for a reference. The extant clavicytherium--the one this one is loosely based on, showcased in the Royal College of Music has some paper on the underside of the body which has a date of 1490, but it could ultimately be earlier than that, or later than that.

It sounds a lot like my Chinese guzheng, but I think the monofilament fishing line is making the sound drier and more dull than the instrument's full potential. If you got some guzheng strings; they are naturally purpose-built for making music so I would bet you could use zheng strings and get a much richer sound, while not having to change anything. I love the Paduk & Maple keyboard! A very cool DIY project indeed!

If you bought some proper strings I bet it would sound amazing. It's a very impressive instrument you've built there, but fishing line just isn't going to give you any tone. I'd make a small investment of no more than $30 and buy some Chinese Guzheng strings. The Guzheng is essentially the Chinese version of the Western harp; it's strings are similar to that of a classical guitar (wound nylon). They're long to accommodate your big instrument, and they will do wonders for the tone of the low and mid range. Nonetheless, *that's a really cool project!* ~Regards from Cape Cod, MA

Brandon Veracka Thanks for the idea. I'm sure you are right about the strings, although it was a project with the expressed intent of being able to make it for $0. Scrap/free wood, carbon-monofilament fishing line (I had spools of this laying around). Obviously better grade material all-round (including strings) would change if ever I started making them to sell. Thanks for your kind words!

rubbishtunes I didn't realize you were going for a zero-dollar build; my bad! I have to say--from one musical instrument tinkerer/craftsman to another--you did an *amazing job* with this project. Not only did it come out looking great, it's functional. That is no small achievement! I remember I saw this video way back when you first posted it and was inspired to build something similar for myself; now that I know you built this yourself AND from scrap materials, I've officially added "build a clavichord" to my bucket list. Keep up the good work!

I'm just wondering what a steel string would sound like with that type of design. I like it because the big problem with Harpsichord is the length in a small dwelling. It's given me some great ideas.

It does strike the string--lightly--because like all harpsichord jacks, the quill is attached to a movable tongue that pivots on an axle with a boar's bristle spring....and will only rock in one position. I advise looking at a harpsichord jack up close. Have fun!

it's funny, but it's really difficult to describe the simple mechanism of a harpsichord jack, but the plectrum swings on a "tongue" which pivots back and forth under the tension of a boar bristle. After lifting the key, the plectrum does indeed come in contact with the string, and you can hear it here, because I didn't use felt dampers--something that you would want on a wire-strung harpsichord because of the volume of sound it produces. see: kzitem.info/news/bejne/0Wljm3alnXRndXY
