Gee, I've only seen one clavichord that my dad built. It is a Zuckerman,
built 25 years ago. There is one string per key, and the left side of
each string has a damping cloth weaved through the strings (so that side
won't speak). I didn't know that there were clavichords with multiple
strings per key.

I wish I could rent one. Seems like an unusual instrument to find for rent!
Does anybody know a place in the Seattle area where you can buy or rent
harpsichords/clavichords?
> Hope that helps. What clavichord do you have?
Don't have one, just wishful thinking at this stage ...
