Project in collaboration with museums aiming to make the clavicord more popular.
In particular for children and adults wishing to begin to play a keyboard instrument
the clavichord is the perfect start: portable, soft and subtle, light weight keys,

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and starting the musical activity with the clavichord
is our motto for the visitors of the museum.
