The Clavichord by Hanns Neutert - Barenreiter This is just a wonderful book. It presents unique, first hand knowledge of the clavichord by a person who not only knew, built and played the instrument himself but also had a deep knowledge of its historical and cultural background. A small book but possesses very interesting and rare information.
