	The Boston Clavichord Society is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the promotion of the clavichord and its music. The society sponsors concerts, masterclasses, lecture/demonstrations and other clavichord-related events. Although these events are primarily local, through our bulletin and web site we serve a wider audience throughout North America. We also function as the contact point to other clavichord societies throughout the world.
				Clavichord after Hoffman (1784) made by Chickering and Sons, Boston, under the direction of Arnold Dolmetsch, no. 31, 1908.* *Arnold Dolmetsch (1858-1940), one of the pioneers of the early music revival, made harpsichords, clavichords, and other instruments as director of a special department at the Chickering and Sons piano factory on Tremont Street in Boston between 1905 and 1910. The clavichords, patterned after a Christian Gotthelf Hoffman instrument of 1784 now in the Yale University Collection of Musical Instruments, are especially fine and are today prized by collectors.
