Victoria and Albert Museum has this claviorgan the earliest surviving keyboard instrument to be made in Britain #269810551
Description
A claviorgan was fitted with strings as well as organ pipes. This example has lost almost all of these, though the soundboard, case and harpsichord stops still survive. Hardly any historic claviorgans are extant, but they were fairly widespread during the 16th century and a number were owned by Henry VIII. This claviorgan was made in London by Lodewyk Theewes. He was a native of Antwerp in Flanders (now Belgium)
