The clavichord is the most personal and expressive of all keyboard instruments.  It has long been recommended as the ultimate school for perfection of touch among keyboard players.  Generally small in size and soft but singing in tone, the clavichord is an ideal practice instrument, which is particularly well suited to those who have limited space and who wish to practise at all hours without disturbing others.

Its simple action allows the player , as he depresses the key, to remain in direct contact with the string even after the initial attack.  In this way he may not only control the range of dynamics, but the continuing character of the sound, varying its intensity by various types of pulsation or vibrato.

Keyboard performers are turning to the clavichord for the many lessons it affords them in developing evenness, sensitivity and clarity of touch.
