A very interesting instrument. The pedal notes especially are very resonant which adds a lot of character to the performance.

Legend has it Bach's favorite instrument was the lautenwerck aka the lute-harpsichord. They are similar to the clavichord but have a rounded body, which gives the instrument a much softer tone. Bach supposedly owned 4. Here's a short recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8z31MbF89-8

Bach feels like he composed music for the person playing the instrument, as much as for the people listening to it.

It's also pretty amazing on steel drums.
