This construction is intended to be a companion to an edelan 6061 clavichord.   As a wall treatment, along with the instrument itself, provides a very attractive room setting/arrangement.   The piece itself is made of aluminum, acrylic, aluminum shavings/particles, with an actual 61-note keyboard as part of the work.  The towers rising from the keyboard represent graphically the notes rising tonally from the instrument.

The piece was constructed with a hardboard backing, covered with aluminum sheathing.  The “notes” coming from the keyboard are made with acrylic and aluminum pieces which were the recovered from the materials left over from construction of the instrument.  The work itself is framed with standard construction aluminum.   This combination of design elements unites this piece directly with the clavichord.  The keyboard itself was purchased from Charles Wolff, a builder of clavichords and other historical instruments.
