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,
usable in every appartment without disturbing anybody. Following the way of
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and starting the musical activity with the clavichord
is our motto for the visitors of the museum.
