[pianotech] Clavichord Tuning

[Dave Doremus]

You might just want it for the temperament. They're very quiet and easy to tune. You will need a couple of slim mutes, I cut some out of hammer felt scraps. Because the tangents deflect the strings tuning with a very consistent touch is absolutely critical. Good clavichords are lovely instruments, have fun.
