Definition
An unusual keyboard instrument combining the mechanisms of a harpsichord with harp-like strings or sound qualities.
Etymology
From Latin clavis (key) + English harp. A compound word created in the 18th or 19th century as inventors experimented with hybrid keyboard instruments combining different sound-producing mechanisms.
Kelly Says
During the Baroque and Classical periods, instrument makers were obsessed with creating hybrid instruments—the claviharp was one wild experiment, though most didn't catch on. Today we'd call this DIY, but back then these inventors were the rockstars of engineering!
