“Clavichord Tuning and Maintenance is a long-awaited must-have book for every person owning or building a clavichord. It brings together for the first time a wealth of practical tuning information (with just enough of a theoretical basis to ground the information without complex mathematical explanations), and is richly supplied throughout with drawings, diagrams, and tables explaining everything very clearly. Written in a friendly, conversational tone, it will go far in encouraging clavichord owners to take care of their instruments rather than to shy away from the possibly onerous duties of tuning and maintenance.”
