a fretted clavichord
Description
The instrument is of the 'fretted' kind, where each string is used to play more than one note. This means a smaller instruments and less strings to tune. As a drawback, the notes that use the same string cannot be played simultaneously. This not only implies that some chords are forbidden, but also calls for a much cleaner 'legato' technique, as tolerance to fingering technique errors is much less than on 'unfretted' instruments....

Essays, resources, information and images on the clavichord.
The clavichord is an old instrument, dating back to perhaps the early fifteenth century, possibly even the fourteenth century. It was common through the eighteenth century, beloved by the entire Bach family, Mozart and even Beethoven. It was briefly dormant during the nineteenth century, then "rediscovered" and promoted by the early music revivalists, such as Arnold Dolmetch, around the turn of the twentieth century. clavichord hubert schmahl silbermann
