Summary of Zuckermann (ZHI) Hubert Clavichord kit review (1/2)

00:00:00 - 00:20:00

The Zuckermann Hubert Clavichord kit is a 1784-era fretted clavichord that was recently redesigned by Ed Ed Kotick. The kit is made with buffard banding around the case and medallions inserted into the inserts, as well as a nicer lid hinge and hinges from Lee Valley. There are some issues with the lid, but overall the kit is well-made and has a nice look to it. The original instrument supplied with the kit had wrapped strings in the base, but this is not mentioned on the website. The reviewer seems to be happy with the Zuckermann Hubert Clavichord, although the key was a bit loose. He recommends using high glue on all the components except the stand, which he built himself. The temperament is not equal, but is closer to equal than the original. He plans to tune the instrument to equal in future installments.
