Peter, Chris, Claudio,
I heartly thank you all for your help. Thanks Chris for having sent me offlist an Excel file.
I saved all your email and I’m going to read each one carefully, I’ll be back should anything be not so clear.
In the meanwhile, may ask you a more general advise?
Here it is.
I don’t know yet which instrument I would make, sorry. I have a drawing of the Nuremberg Silbermann 1775 (MIR 1061), unfretted, and a drawing of the Nuremberg Hubert 1789 (MIR 1058), fretted, is on its way, I’ll receive in 3-4 days.
But I have a lot of doubts: will I be able to make a fretted clavichord with all the cranked keyboard and tangent position and so on? I read the Hubert has some complicated way of guiding the keys...
On the other side, is the Silbermann a good-sounding instrument? I find it has a very small soundboard, isn’t it detrimental to the tone?
Or maybe I should aim to another clavichord?
I am looking to a clavichord both “easy” to make but with a good tone, or should I say a clavichord which is easier to produce a good tone.
I hope some of the members are willing to shed some light as I know harpsichord fairly well (I made some with good results) but never attempted or studied clavichords.
Best regards,
Domenico
