Hello Julia
Clavichords use "Tangents" to make the note. The strings can all be the =
same length - it doesn't really matter - because the non-speaking part =
of the string is damped with a strip of listing cloth. The Clavichord is =
the only keyed instrument on which the pitch can be altered by the =
player by means of greater or lesser pressure applied to the key. In the =
Clavichord there is no action. The "Tangent" is fixed to the tail end of =
the key.
Why can't they produce Concert Grands this simple? ;-)
