From Austria the "clavichord" as it was usually called in those days (because it had "craves" or keys) went to Italy.

The Italians called an instrument with a 'jack' action like the virginal by the name clavichord.

The clavichord followed in due course, and by a rapid process of development regals, organs, and virginals evolved.

These were followed in the seventeenth century by the clavichord, the favourite instrument of Bach.

He sat down at the clavichord and sang what he had composed in honour of the Princess.

It is not a matter of wonder that the lovers of the harpsichord and clavichord did not take kindly to the piano-forte at first.
