Travel Clavichord based on Ch. G. Hubert 1776

​The original instrument of this clavichord formerly in the Berlin collection was destroyed in World War II. Only an indistinct photo and a brief description are remained. A Dutch clavichord maker Koen Vermeij reconstructed this small clavichord in 1987 and he wrote a report The Reconstruction of a Hubert Clavichord .
​I was provided with the report from Mr. Vermeij several years ago. Then I drew a technical drawing based on his report. I finished making this clavichord in the summer of 2020.

Compass: C-f3, 54 keys
