This contribution shows how the perspective of the studiolo can be reversed and how the dimensions of the „real‟ clavichord can be determined with a high level of certainty. It is demonstrated that the perspective drawn by Baccio Pontelli in 1479 is perfect: there is no need to postulate neither any distortion of perspective nor the co-existence of different types of perspectives. The author deduces from the new measurements the dimensions of the „real‟ clavichord: outer and inner dimensions, rack, keyboard, bridge, etc. Some dimensions published previously need to be amended. The paper ends with conclusions with respect to organological issues re. the Urbino clavichord: regular fretting 3-4, Pythagorean temperament.

Clavichordtage ·of the Deutsche Clavichord Societät in co-operation with the Musikwissenschaftlichen Seminar der Georg-August-Universität Göttingen, Göttingen, 2–4 November 2018. The paper gives a detailed description of the clavichord made in Frankfurt am Main in 1670 by Israel Gellinger. The instrument, in spite of the damages it has endured, is a valuable witness of keyboard instruments making in Germany during the middle of the seventeenth century. It is one of the rare extant historical keyboard instruments made in Frankfurt am Main. It has not been modified in its essential parts since its construction.

This paper is a companion to the instrument itself, presented at the 45th Clavichordtage of the Deutsche Clavichord Societät in Stade in September 2019. It provides technical details about the realisation of this project, started and completed in 2019.
