The article Tangent (clavichord) should be merged into this article as it does not contain enough information to stand alone and references material unique to this article only. +Fenevad 18:53, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

There is an error in the text under fretting: which is larger, unfretted (more likely) or fretted clavichords? It says unfretted ones are bigger than unfretted ones.

It would be nice to have some audio examples of the instrument.

There are some in the link to Wikimedia Commons. Graham87 13:23, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

As far as I know the Clavichord builder Thomas Steiner lives in Basel, Switzerland, but appears as Austrian in the Text! I live in Basel and actually know where he has his atelier. Prysswerckh (talk) 12:32, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

I've recently uploaded a 17th century engraving of a woman playing a clavichord (right) by Wenceslas Hollar. Feel free to use or not use. Dcoetzee 00:34, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
