It was made by Michael Thomas. He was a master of the soundboard. Died about 10 years ago. The soundboard is cedar but I think the secret is in the soundbox. It has so much sound to spare that it accommodates a bridge 2.5 cm tall at the bass end. That may give it more sustain. Sadly clavichord design is kinda frowned upon these days.
Lovely playing! Thanks so much for sharing this performance!

A little bit too fast, I think, mainly for the first part (not the double)
