Hubert was one of the finest and most prolific 18th-century German clavichord makers. This is one of his later instruments and has a compact design, is double fretted and used over-wound strings in the bass (requiring thicker tangents for the lowest 11 notes). The panelled case and the lid are made of cherry. Gift of Mrs Douglas Dixon, 1980.
