Clavichord 简介：

Clavichord
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The clavichord is a European stringed keyboard instrument known from the late Medieval, through the Renaissance, Baroque and Classical eras. Historically, it was widely used as a practice instrument and as an aid to composition.

The clavichord produces sound by striking brass or iron strings with small metal blades called tangents.
Vibrations are transmitted through the bridge(s) to the soundboard.

The name is derived from the Latin word clavis, meaning "key" (associated with more common clavus, meaning "nail, rod, etc.") and chorda (from Greek χορδή) meaning "string, especially of a musical instrument".
