Hi! I know it's been a long time since you posted this.. I'm really impressed by your musical instruments from throw away materials and the clavivytheruim in particular. I'm thinking of building my own harpsichord and it should be either a spinet or clavivytheruim. Did you have any plans prior to building the instrument or was it your own design? Can you share / point me out to further technical details / plains available on clavivytheruims? Thanks!
I had no plans, mexsobaki. I simply built the instrument around a set of known string lengths for the so-called 'RCM clavicytherium' that loosely resembled said instrument.
Awesome, really. I have started building a spinettino to the plans I purchased. But next in my list is a clavicytherium, which I want to design myself. The action I think will be similar to that of the RCM's instrument, but it will have full soundboard and probably larger compass. Your project is really inspiring. Thank you! --Alexey

Strange that I wrote the word clavicytherium incorrectly all 4 times that I mentioned it in my previous comment :) Was it a spell checker?
