hey guys don't you worry i am not starting a pet funeral business here these are indeed two clavicles this one is the domage that you know through the channel in case you haven't watched the video i made specifically about it i link it up here this is a client called by john morley this is a gift from a friend during most of 2019 i was spending a lot of time between here and london and that situation was uh potentially going to carry on for a while so this friend of mine who mainly plays the baroque flute had this clavichord and told me if i wanted to well as far as i had understood borrow it and to have an instrument to practice while i was in london because this clavichord was already here and so was my piano so i go to pick it up and uh basically my friend tells me that he is giving it to me so so i took it and of course then kovid arrived and then i i didn't i stopped the situation of moving between two cities and the clavicle stayed in this place in london so when i got it it hadn't been probably played very much and it hadn't been tuned for a long period of time which i don't know what it is but it could have been decades so i gave it a little tuning then and then of course it stayed for about one year until very recently uh and tuned but i have quickly put it back into let's call it plain condition but i have quickly put it back into let's call it plain condition uh but yeah it's probably not very well in place uh it it needs like this one did when i got it uh it it needs like this one did when i got it because it hadn't been played for uh for because it hadn't been played for uh for i needed to tune it several times until it started to to stay in place uh but anyway so let's look at these two clavicles
