Yes, I have been to Mozart's house in Salzburg and yes, his clavichord is there, along with his fortepiano, child-sized violin and concert violin.

I assure you my double manual Flemish sounds very much like a harpsichord in the flesh! Yes, it does look very nice The sound quality of the video mode of my camera was the problem and not the harpsichord.

Perhaps you should do some homework before posting your comment! Mozart had a clavichord in his house and used it to compose his Zauberflöte and Requiem. Harpsichords, although of the baroque era, were still used in opera - yes, including Mozart's operas.

Well I suppose that is why Gaston Bélier kept to his profession as a banker and not as a composer! The former would have made him more money! Mind you, for those of us who do not know how to compose or improvise, it is not all that bad :)
