A clavichord is a small, early keyboard instrument where sound is produced by striking strings with small metal blades called tangents. The strings are stretched over a wooden frame, and when a key is pressed, the tangent hits the string, causing it to vibrate and produce sound. The clavichord has a soft, delicate tone and allows for expressive dynamics and subtle variations in volume. It was popular during the Renaissance and Baroque periods and is valued for its ability to provide nuanced, intimate performances. Its compact size and responsive touch make it suitable for solo practice and chamber music.
