The Hubert Clavichord

Christian Gottlob Hubert (1714-1793) is today regarded as one of the great clavichord builders of the 18-century. Like almost all German keyboard instrument makers of his time, he was primarily an organ builder who also made harpsichords, fortepianos, and clavichords. None of his harpsichords have survived, and only one organ and two pianos, but 18 of his clavichords have endured the ravages of time. Of these, the best-known, perhaps the best-sounding, and the most-often copied, is the 1784 instrument now in the Russell Collection in Edinburgh, Scotland. Although we offer this outstanding clavichord in kit form, we are pleased to also offer it in a totaly finished version, ready to play!
