Definition
Plural of clavichord; early keyboard instruments where pressing keys strikes strings with small metal blades called tangents to produce soft, delicate tones.
Etymology
From Medieval Latin 'clavis' (key) + 'chorda' (string). The instrument name combines the Latin for 'key' and 'chord' since each key directly strikes a string. These instruments became popular in Renaissance Europe.
Kelly Says
The clavichord was the favorite practice instrument of Bach and other Baroque composers because, unlike harpsichords, you could control the volume and even add vibrato by wiggling your finger on the key after striking—the only keyboard instrument that could do this until the piano was invented.
