Clavichord after Manuel Carmo

The clavichord after Manuel Carmo, Porto 1796 is a typical representative of Iberian instruments. At that time, fretless clavichords were predominantly built in other countries, with fretted ones appearing only occasionally – unlike in Spain and Portugal. The sound captivates with its clear, cantabile tone.
