How many strings are there on a clavichord?
The number of strings on a clavichord varies depending on the size and type of instrument. Smaller clavichords, known as "table clavichords", typically have around 36 to 45 strings, while larger "concert clavichords" can have up to 60 strings. Each string is plucked by a small metal tangent that rises when a key is pressed, creating a soft, delicate sound.
